GRAEME DOWNEY MEMORIAL 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 4m  

There looks to be decent pace and pressure in this 1400m event. SOPHMAZE (4) ran a very good third fresh up. She has won second up importantly. Ace gate today. Win chance here for sure on wet ground. GHAZZAH (3) is a class riser in this on his last start win. Course proven. Drops 1kg. Top tier chance for sure. WHEELITIN (7) has been not too bad this time in. Has won on dry and wet ground. Include with the same 4kg claimer atop once again. URENUI (1) showed big improvement second up. He has won third up too. Unbeaten in two runs at 1400m. Ticks several key questions here. MADAME MOET (9) is a class riser here. Can claim down to 52kg in this. Not too bad in last two starts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sophmaze is a win wager.
