GOING: G(4)

TWIN LAKES AIR & SOLAR MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Dolzino leading the way. DOLZINO (4) backs up quickly as a beaten favourite last start but has shown mid distance talent in six starts. Third up still a real chance. HELLBETTA (2) improved sharply last start and should be peaking third up. Suited at a mile and drawn snug. Can go one better. HIPPY DREAMS (7) draws in close after two handy efforts to start her career. Nicely weighted to improve again. KIA ORA GOLD (5) closed off nicely into the frame on debut last time out. Sure to have come on with the race experience and is among the main chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dolzino win.
