GOING: G(4)

The WIN News Masters Maiden/Class 1 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 23)   True  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Milton crossing from the outside gate. HEWIE (2) rates well and kicking off over a mile shouldn't be an issue. Won a recent trial over 1350m and he should position up well from the handy gate. EBB sticks from the trial and is striking at 21% with the Trinder yard. TOSEN FAME (11) wasn't far away at Hobart and then settled back here from a wide gate beaten just 1.2L over this distance. Keeps Carr and is a live chance. SURELY SPECIAL (5) turned the form around comfortably winning a Maiden here over 1400m. Dropped back from a solid outing over a middle distance and the mile is likely to be his sweet spot. May have turned the corner. MILTON (7) is fast and will likely have the early tow to clear the outside gate. He's improving and is a hope if things work out. PUNTER (3) also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hewie if the betting suggests stable confidence.
