GOING: G(4)

PETERS INVESTMENTS PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

No recognised leader engaged but Spice Is Right possesses enough dash to take advantage of a low draw and take it up. The 2YO's kick things off and SPICE IS RIGHT (4) looks the one to beat. He showed good improvement when out to this trip last start, finishing just 0.7L off the winner. He was 18-1 there, but he maps for a similar run this time and Noske replaces the apprentice hoop. Expecting further improvement and that should see him go close to winning. AT YOUR SERVICE (10) has bumped into a couple of good ones in her two runs thus far, finishing 2.9L off the winner most recently. The wide draw doesn't hurt as she gets back anyway and this looks a very winnable race for her. It might be her time to shine now. GOD'S GATE (7) makes his debut for the in-form Parnham stable and was very impressive in his most recent trial. He sat outside the leader and put them away comfortably with the blinkers on. Can be in this for a long way. SHOW THE WAY (2) trialled nicely in readiness and won't be far away. BATTLE COMMANDER (1) continues to knock on the door and he must be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spice Is Right can win the opener.
