GOING: S(5)

Carnival Tickets On Sale Now Maiden Plate 1609m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 4.5m 1000m-W/Post; Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.4).  

Solid tempo from the small field. GOGGLEBOX (6) ran her best race yet when finishing runner-up at Mackay last start. That was her first run over a longer journey and with the advantage of the pole position, she can go one better. MISHANI EAGLE (5) has put together 3 fourth placings in a row to open this campaign. He is up to a more suitable trip now and has sound each-way claims in this. SMOKIN' RUBI (2) is stepping up to a mile for the first time and could be worth including in all combinations at long odds. KING CANUTE (4) tends to mix his form but improved last start to finish third over 1400m at Cairns. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gogglebox on top.
