GOING: S(6)

C.E Bartlett 2yo Mdn Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.76).  

Not much form to go off here with plenty of these stepping out on debut. American Genius and Annanicolesnitz will go forward although the pace does not look breakneck. AMERICAN GENIUS for Lindsay Park resumes from a four month spell after a promising maiden campaign. Placed at Listed level on debut then finished 3rd at his next two starts in good quality races before being turned out. Big trial winner recently so looks ready to go. BANISH resumed from a brief spell last start over this distance at Caulfield and ran an even race to clock in 3rd. Will be better for the run and from gate two should position nicely just in behind the speed. ANNANICOLESNITZ was keen on debut and tired in the final stages as a result to miss a place. Blinkers come off today and she steps up slightly in distance so look for a bolder performance. JOHN'S REVENGE has been a little disappointing but can lift today with winkers going on. SUGGESTED PLAY: American Genius straight out.

Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last preparation 3rd of 8 starters at Flemington 2yo Plate in Dec last year over 1100m, 2-1/4 len behind King's Authority with 57kg. First ever race start 3rd of 11 starters at Flemington in the LR Maribyrnong Trl in Oct last year over 1000m, 2-3/4 len behind Madeenaty with 57kg. Promising type who is fitter for trial win; conditions favour for bold showing.

First race starter by Foxwedge out of Dance To My Tune. Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. On profile he seems hard pressed.

First race starter by Makfi out of Fjall. This two-year-old colt hasn't trialled heading into today's debut. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer others.
