GOING: G

De Bortoli Wines 2YO Fillies Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m. Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.28).  

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but over this trip there is certain to be plenty of early pressure. MISS MAHJONG (4) went to the Listed Dequetteville in Adelaide last start on the back of a placing on debut at Ballarat but didn't measure up. Might have found 1000m a bit slick in that company so the extra furlong in this far easier race looks a nice option. DO SAY (1) warmed to the task late to get up for fourth on debut in the Listed Without Fear over 1050m at Morphettville three weeks ago. Promising filly who should relish this trip and looks the obvious danger. TWILIGHT ZONE (10) was found to be lame after finishing down the track when facing the starter for the first time recently over this distance at Sandown. Worth another chance. Godolphin's Street Boss first starter TRISKELE (9) won a jump-out at Flemington on 19 April. Looks ready to run well. GROOVE JET (3) is favourite in early markets on the back of a strong Werribee jump-out win. A good draw adds to the appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Mahjong each-way in a race where betting holds the key.
