GOING: S(5)

POWER PRODUCTIONS CONTENT CREATIONS MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Expecting Duke Of Bronte to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. DUKE OF BRONTE (4) started favourite and led for home but found the winner too strong when resuming over 900m at Newcastle last start. Gets out to this trip for the first time but with the run under the belt on a turning track he might be tough to reel in. BATTLE OF VIENNA (3) last appeared when third over 1200m at Newcastle in October. Gelded since then and trialled well recently at Randwick so he might be a big improver this prep. EXTREMELY FRILLY (7) registered her fourth minor placing from as many runs this prep when a closing third over 1250m at Newcastle last time out. Gets the fifth different rider of the campaign today. Should be charging home. RATHORAN (5) didn't race up to expectations on debut over 1005m at Coffs Harbour in November, his only trip to the races. Twice a trial winner since that day so he might have more to offer this prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Duke Of Bronte on top but wary of Battle Of Vienna.
