GOING: G

bet365 Top Tote Plus Maiden Plate 1856m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.1).  

Reasonable tempo expected with Phair Plan leading with a few others keeping him honest. RETOURNE (4) has had the three starts to date, filling a place in his past two outings at Echuca and Seymour. Drops in trip on last effort where he fought on well after leading. Will give a great sight. PHAIR PLAN (2) is still a maiden after 14 starts but has raced here four times, filling a place on three occasions. Run was solid here last time and a forward showing is on the cards. REBELLIOUS HOPE (12) ran placings at Pakenham and Ballarat before finishing on the placegetters heels last time. Ran on well last time and won't be far away. SEAMINGLY (13) showed a win is not far away after filling a place here last time and cannot be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Retourne and Phair Plan to win.
