GOING:

RICHARD SIMPSON CONTRACTING 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Solid tempo with Callada leading from Cosentino and Lohnagan. DISCOVERY BAY (4) racing well of late and he is drawn well here. Partial class riser in this too. He can win this undoubtedly. CALLADA (3) won his Maiden here. Class riser in this and drawn out. Still a win threat. ARDEE BOY (2) he has won third up and is a partial class riser here. Course winner. Cannot be omitted anywhere here. KANA (1) is a multiple class dropper here and rises a mammoth 9.5kg in this. Ran fairly fresh up and had won a trial prior. She is a course winner. The betting will be interesting. PUZZLE MASTER (7) is a chance here second up. Won his Maiden in this state on the Cambridge Synthetic. Give another chance after fresh up flop. SUGGESTED PLAY: Discovery Bay can win this without surprising. Callada is the biggest danger.
