GOING: S

Harvey Norman Moe 0 - 58 Handicap 1628m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.59)  

Genuine pace headed by Hawkestone from his wide gate. Lots of these struggling to find form. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS (1) is a handy but lightly raced galloper who is closing in on two years since a success. But hasn't tackled a race this weak for a long time. Has found the right race and off a low draw won't get a better chance to break through. QUEEN OF TAYRONA (11) just drifted too far back last time. Found the line well though and draws much better this time. Danger. WOMEN IN UNIFORM (7) is better than recent form suggests. Well weighted for this with the claim and should be tough to stop. ELECTROZINO (3) just missed fresh then was midfield in tougher latest. Is a third-up winner and could easily bounce back. MAGGIE'S SON (4) wasn't far away fresh and strips fitter. Drawn for a good run and could be value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chancing Nothingelsematters this grade.
