GOING: H(8)

CASINO FOOD CO-OP CASINO FLYING 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Lady Tulessa. MAJORELLE (2) is back in trip after three six-furlong outings from as many starts this prep, the highlight a win two back at Grafton in a BM82. Yet to miss the placings in five goes at today's trip. Looks the testing material from a good draw with Newman's claim. MAXIMUM VORTEX (1) tired late at Eagle Farm last time out when fresh from a forty-two-day let-up. Capable of blistering late sectionals when things fall his way. Right in contention. THE ASTRONOMER (3) returns after an outstanding Spring campaign that saw him win three on end. Goes well fresh and did score at his only other run at 1000m. Ticks all the right boxes. Distance specialist DIS IS HEAVEN (5) is racing in outstanding form, with a close third over today's journey at Warwick Farm the pick of the runs. A bad draw drops him down the pecking order but with luck he can certainly win. Veteran mare RUBY JULY (9) is up in grade but her nine wins at today's distance are hard to overlook. SUGGESTED PLAY: Majorelle on top in a strong feature sprint.
