Gold Coast   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(4)

Diesel Leaders Hcp 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Showers Early   Rail: Out 6m 1400m-400m; Out 3m the Remainder. (Pent: 4.5).  

Not much form to go off here and LEGADEMA could lead again today. LEGADEMA spaced a Maiden 2 field at Eagle Farm from the front on debut and impressed. Gets Griffin today and will take beating again from the front. BERAHT placed at Eagle Farm on debut in an Open 2 sitting on speed. Draws inside and is a big danger. DO I HAVE TO debuts for the Vandyke yard off a big trial win. She looks to have plenty of ability and is a big market watch. MISS COCHISE just missed her on debut and has genuine claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Legadema for the win off strong debut effort.
