GOING: G

Tab.Com.Au Mdn Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 5m 1000m-W/P. Out 3m Remainder, 1400m Chute Out 5m. (Pent: 4.74).  

Broadlea should lead with Shudabeen parting company from wider out. Few debutantes hold the keys given the raced haven't shown a great deal. NAI'A appears to have trialled the best leading in with highly promising Woman franking the form. Possesses enough toe to cross from the wide draw and Bowman aboard looks a key indication to her chances. SHUDABEEN was run down when lacking race fitness at Canterbury resuming. Winner of that (Marishka) has since failed leaving form slightly suspect however she strips fitter and finds a race void of speed. RIDICULE is out of a G1 winning mare who fetched $430,000 as a result. Likely to need further being by So You Think but trials tend to disagree. Brad Widdup has started his training career well and keep a close eye on the market. Shudabeen has good gate speed and will get over and lead from Broadlea at a decent tempo. READYCATGO showed significant improvement last start when ridden in front, holding on gamely to finish runner up over 1200m at this circuit. Suited coming back in distance today and with the blinkers off will probably take a sit and look to finish over the top. SHUDABEEN led and just failed to hang on when a close 2nd at Canterbury over today's journey when resuming from a spell recently. Lightly raced filly with plenty of room for further progress. MEMENTO got too far back when resuming over 1200m last start but found the line in pleasing fashion. Group 3 placegetter last prep who will be better for that run. NAI'A on debut for Godolphin has been trialling well and Bowman takes the ride which is significant. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Nai'a.

Trialled at Warwick Farm over 794m on Sep 8. Fitness an issue. Should need run.

Three-year-old filly (Smart Missile - Strictly Personal) will no doubt benefit for the two trials leading in today's debut. Last trial ran 3rd at Randwick trial over 1050m on Aug 31. In leading stable, seems fit, so don't underestimate her.

Filly by Lonhro making her first race start. Trial form indicates she's up to a solid debut. Won Rosehill trial over 1030m on September 4. Capable of a cheeky run at debut.

Second-up today. Last outing fractious in barriers; rolled along in front and was edged out late 2nd of 8 starters at Canterbury 3yo F Mdn Aug 30 over 1100m, a long-neck behind Marishka with 57kg. At only start last preparation didn't finish the race at Wellington Wellington Boot in Mar over 1100m. Useful type, definite improver.
