GOING: H(8)

TRAFFIC WARDEN @ DARLEY HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo likely with Cristal Clear, Golden Straand and Dimitrov prominent. The local GOLDEN STRAAND (10) races forward and just missed this grade/trip at Rosehill after belting the Gosford Maidens by 3.3L. Peaks now and the promising Snitzel colt is well-placed to bounce straight back. THE REPLICANT (13) sits at the bottom of the handicap and rates a threat. Brings placing from Canterbury at this level, and he's on the quick back-up. Maps for the run of the race. CODE IN TIME (3) led but didn't close off on the Kensington well-supported and comes back a bit in trip. He will be fitter and keeps the handy 2kg claim. Races well here and his best would have him in the finish. DONWON (9) stepping out at this course for the first time. Last appeared when he finished third over 1200m at Kembla Grange on July 17. Racing well and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Golden Straand.
