GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES CLEVELAND BAY 1300m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58).  

Circularity possess good early speed and should take it up. NORTHERN PRIDE (16) has come of age this prep with 3 wins from 4 starts, including his last start on this track a fortnight ago when coming with a well-timed run to score by half-a-length. He handles any type of track condition and even though this is his toughest test to date, he only carries 52 kilos and can take this out. MR MAESTRO (4) lost form and failed to fire in 3 starts earlier in the year in some handy fields. He is a very good gelding on his day and with a change in scenery he is more than capable of running a big race in this. A market watch is advised. BONAPARTE (1) is a quality veteran who has been sparingly raced this year. He signalled that his best form was not far away when finishing a close-up third at Rockhampton when resuming from a spell just over 3 weeks ago. Hard to beat here. FOR VALOUR (17) needed his fresh-up run at Eagle Farm in his first start for Lindsay Gough and he normally improves quickly with racing. Each-way value in a very competitive contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Northern Pride to win.
