GOING: H(9)

IMPERIAL RACING Class 1 Plate 1350m Track: HEAVY 9 Clouds (Max: 26) Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).
Black Opium may lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. Competitive. EXCEED SPEED (7) raced forward and deserved the Maiden win here for the premier yard. Uses the rail and Rodd sticks aboard. Peaks now and is capable of taking the next step. MILITARY AWARD (8) is a former Victorian and got closer here second-up for the new barn. Finds a touch easier and maps for a soft run under Maloney. He's good enough and a sharper effort is anticipated. SOUTH SEA (9) took out the Doomben Maiden first up and is much improved. Has an awkward barrier but will present fitter and can't be ruled out. BRASCO (2) was good first up at Doomben and is sure to have come on. Has more to give and winning rider Orman is reunited. BLACK OPIUM (14) won of debut in NZ in a strong-form race and has switched to the Shailer yard on a 39-day return. Fancied in early markets so has to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Exceed Speed.
