GOING: H(9)

HYNE TIMBER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1209m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +4m .  

Plenty of pace evident with Conjoin and Niccolina leading the way from Weird Goodbyes and Wholelottalove. CONJOIN (2) is yet to strike through this campaign but put the writing on the wall last start at Corowa when beaten a lip. Blinkers on first time is a good indicator. Looks the one to beat. WEIRD GOODBYES (1) stuck on soundly into the frame on debut at Canberra. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt. Loy for Pepper a big push. Expecting sharp improvement. TOMMY FLYER (5) re-joins the Nick Olive stable after a failed attempt in Queensland. Recent trial suggests he can run a much better race. GLITTERSCRIPT (3) returns. Finds the maiden win elusive but has shown glimpses of ability. Has been readied with a solid hitout at Kembla Grange and can make her presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Conjoin.
