GOING: S(5)

IMPERIAL RACING Colts, Geldings and Entires Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 9.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).  

Taltarni Fields and Johnny Utah can set a decent tempo. TALTARNI FIELDS (10) is a leader who is third up off two heavily bet near misses at Doomben. Keeps the small claim and is well-placed in a provincial Maiden. Rates clear. PERIGEAN (8) switched from a Sydney stable and won a Doomben trial before just missing here first-up as a $3 equal favourite. He's in the premier Metro barn and is sure to keep improving. The speedy galloper has an awkward gate today but Maloney sticks and will manage COMMANDORO (4) resumes for a sharp yard with the blinkers first-time applied. He will be naturally improved and showed enough on debut to consider. DULVERTON CHARM (11) resumes and has switched to Peter Robl. Has had two solid trials for the stable and it wouldn't surprise if he went well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Taltarni Fields.
