GOING: G

Goodstone Group Maiden/Class 1 1880m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Expecting Purr Sefanee to take up the running with Don't Give Up and Knights Reign close at hand. DON'T GIVE UP (2) has had two solid runs this campaign and is ready for the step up to the 1880m. His overall form reads well for this contest, and Darmanin's engagement adds to the confidence. GEEGEE AUNTY JESS (6) races forward and ran here best race beaten a nose here over a mile. Needs some luck pushing forward and she just missed here the last time she tackled this distance. KNIGHTS REIGN (7) is third-up and is over from Victoria. SKELMORLIE (13) brings two near misses from Hobart and is back in trip. Some hope but she's running out of chances. PURR SEFANEE (11) was a big Maiden winner at Hobart from the front and keeps the handy 3kg claim. Has to run out the extra metres and do it from an outside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Don't Give Up.
