GOING: S(7)

AUSURE HOSPITALITY MAIDEN PLATE 1870m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Justice Served leading the way. JUSTICE SERVED (4) has led and battled on well in both runs to date. Jumps right up in trip and blinkers come off. Ready to show best. SEASONS OF MIST (6) has been consistent to date and both runs this time in on wet tracks have been above par. Can win. WAVERLEY (7) drops sharply in grade out of a listed race first up but still needs to improve. Up in trip can atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Justice Served win.
