GOING: G

Brandt Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.89).  

A solid tempo on the cards with Infringement taking charge. INFRINGEMENT (3) resumed with a good run at Stawell when beaten under a length. Fitter for that and maps for a soft run either leading or in the box seat. Looks a strong hope. KHANT BEE (5) debuted over this trip at Stawell and was solid in second, no match for the winner. Better for that experience. Chance. USK VALLEY (10) was okay first-up at Pakenham over 1400m. Showed ability last time in and will be improved here. DON RUBIO (1) was okay on debut in a good maiden at Geelong. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Infringement to win.
