GOING: S

Yarram Park Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.57).  

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Alcoshare and Nextone. DARTS DALY (4) looks the one to beat. He was good on debut at Hamilton when beaten a neck before tackling a stronger maiden at Warrnambool and finishing fifth, not beaten far. Maps for a soft run here and gets his chance to open the account. SQUID STING (7) struggled at Warrnambool but had been coming along well prior and can get things in favour here. ALCOSHARE (1) similarly struggled last time but did run second by a nose prior and that reads well. Just needs to overcome the tricky draw. DAD'S DREAM (3) was okay at big odds first up at Donald and will be fitter. RUNAWAY LOVE (10) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Darts Daly to win.
