GOING: S(7)

DOUGLAS EGAN MEMORIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Maryland Bridge, Epic Time and Jason Darren going hard, closely attended by Lucky Creed. SEE YOU THEN (3) is straight off a maiden win at Tamworth but she finished well to score at the 1000m suggesting the extra trip shouldn't be an issue for her. Finds a nice race and she could easily progress. JASON DARREN (1) led and knocked up when resuming at this trip at Tamworth so will be fitter for this and it's a drop in class as well. Open to improvement. GRAND OYSTER (4) is thereabouts of late and getting close to peak fitness with three runs back including a placing last time out. Big watch on GODWITS (5) first-up for new stable and betting a good guide while CAMMI (7) is a place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: See You Then to win.

Second run back. First-up after three months led to the turn then faded 6th of 12 at Tamworth Bm66 on August 7 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Lightning Speed carrying 58kg at $5.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at Scone Mdn on March 4 over 1200m, slow going 1.4 len behind Antilocapra with 58.5kg at $8. Fitter for the one run back and look for him to improve with even luck.
