GOING: G(4)

JCF CONTRACTING MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 38)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace from Rockthevelio taking it up with Toussaint and Stormzino on her back. TOUSSAINT (14) blinkers go on in a final attempt to see her shed her Maiden tag at start seven. Savaged the line late with a narrowly second over 1400m at Nowra. Should get the right tempo and finds her race. LEGO MASTER (4) appreciated the low draw at his second race start when he gripped on to finish a close-up third over 1400m at Nowra. Has further upside to come and shapes as the main danger. ROCKTHEVELIO (12) drifted in betting on debut when a surprise second over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Looking for this trip and further and can take a hand in the finish. SHADOW OF LIGHT (13) excellent return when she motored late from the wide gate to secure fourth over 1400m at Nowra in a Super Mdn. Yet to draw a decent gate in three career runs and today is no different. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toussaint can finally salute.
