GOING: S(5)

BLUE HAVEN POOLS CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2100m

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

Hiawatha is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. SHE'S GOT VEUVE (8) stepped out beyond the mile for the first time last start and acquitted herself well, racing handy and finding plenty to hold onto second at Kembla. Very fit filly who will take a lot from that run and she is sure to be there at the business end. HALKIS (7) worked home stoutly to grab second last time out over the mile at Canberra. Steps up to this distance for the first time but her racing pattern suggests it won't be a concern. ICEBREAKER (4) made a move before the turn then went right on with the job in a maiden over today's journey at Wyong a fortnight ago. That was just the second run of the prep so there should be plenty of scope for improvement. HIGHBORN HARRY (3) is racing well but finding it hard to win. Placed 3/3 here so must be included. SUBSCRIBE ME (2) returned to form last start over 2200m at Scone. Cannot be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks ideal for She's Got Veuve.
