GOING: H(8)

MAURICE AT ARROWFIELD HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HEAVY8   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.01).  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Dipsy Doodle. The in-form ONE DESTINY (11) scored here at this trip two runs back then battled on gamely for second in Saturday company at Rosehill 11 days ago, again at 1100m. Nicely in with the claim and looks the toughest to beat in an open affair. SEPTIME (19) returned after almost a year away from racing with an encouraging second over 1000m at Goulburn on 3 June. Drops sharply in the weights and with a bit of improvement can play a big role. REBEL DEAN (13) flew late but just missed when resuming over 1000m at the Kensington track recently. Expect he will hold that form. DIVINE VICKY (14) is racing well at the provincials this time in work and deserves a crack in town. SUGGESTED PLAY: One Destiny each-way in a tough race to close.
