GOING: G(4)

Hygain 2YO Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.29).  

Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with many of these lining up for the first time. IN HER EYES (5) finished runner-up on debut and her next couple of starts have been in Group company. She lines up for the first time in maiden class and should have the edge on her rivals here. On top. SHAALUTE (3) was unlucky on debut and then found Group 2 grade a bridge too far last time out. This is more his go and he is expected to be in the finish this time. PUISSANCE POWER (2) resumed in the same race as the second pick last start and was outclassed at this stage of his career. He is at the right level now and from a good draw, he can figure in the finish. MIGHTY MORTY (1) is on debut and has been gelded since finishing third in a trial last spring. His jumpouts have been sound and he has first four claims in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: In Her Eyes on top.
