CAPTAIN OF ALL MAIDEN PLATE 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 24) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The pace should be on from the outset with Field Marshal, Flyingcool and Sacambaya pushing on from their low draws. FLYINGCOOL (2) stayed on nicely when finishing third in his last start over 1200m. He is a progressive type and should like the rise to 1400m. From his good draw of two, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. FIELD MARSHAL (1) finished fourth last start beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1200m when on debut. Racing in a fitter state rates well as the testing material. PROFESSOR LUPIN (10) was in need of his resuming run debut over this distance at Greyville last start. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. With luck in the running he should be involved at the finish. RAILROAD (13) has fair consistent form lines to his name. He tries the 1400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer he can finish in the money.
