GOING: G(4)

ASH & SONS 2YO MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large number of first starters. INTERJECTION (4) has been trialling well against respectable times. Despite a tricky draw, looks set for a sharp debut. MARAIS (6) has been bloused by bare margins in both starts and is due a change of luck. No easier here though and a wide draw puts him on the each-way line. KILLCARE BEACHGIRL (13) is a Too Darn Hot filly stepping out on debut for the Waterhouse & Bott partnership. Has worked well in her lead up work and looks capable of making the immediate impact. FORMAL (2) wasn't far away on debut, despite finishing outside of the placings. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt and is among the main chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Interjection to win.
