GOING: G

Raceday Medical 2YO Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.77).  

Moderate pace expected with Halo Phenomena leading Sonder. Pretty hard to go past SIGNOR BILL (6). Chased home recent Flemington winner Epimeles on debut and backed it up with a solid effort at Pakenham. Step up in trip suits. Expected to go close here. ROYAL VICTORY (5) hit the line well on debut at Geelong. Will be improved by that experience and is expected to run well. HALO PHENOMENA (2) showed improvement from debut to second outing when run down late after leading. Will be further improved. Has claims. PRINCE PINOT (3) is going to find this more to his liking rather than chasing the speedy Bold Bastille at Bendigo. One of hopes here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Signor Bill.

Lining up for third start. At debut, sat on the pace before fading to run last of 8 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1200m, 13 len behind Feroce with 58kg at $12. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 12 over 1400m, long-neck behind Shaalute with 58kg at $19. On the improve and is a definite winning chance.
