WAL'S CONCRETING CLASS 3 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Flying Bat leading Dupont. MONTE MAXIMUS (5) missed the kick before working home in genuine style to be beaten under two lengths over 1350m at Ipswich last start. Gets some weight relief today so in a super hard race to close the day he appeals on an each-way basis. INDUBITABLY (4) has turned in a couple of even performances in differing races to launch this prep. The winner of two from two when third-up so expect she will be wound up to perform at her peak. HE'S A COPY BOY (13) has been getting back in his races this prep and finding it hard to make sufficient late inroads to threaten. Has a decent record at this distance so from a nice draw he comes into calculations. TALANA (2) is going well this prep with three close-up efforts from as many appearances. The wide gate dampens his prospects a little. INSINUATE (8) bolted in here last start and at the weights should be highly competitive again despite the class rise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very hard race to close the day - Monte Maximus each-way.
