GOING: G

Porter Plant 0-64 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.77).  

Princeofnottingham and Uluwatu possess good early speed and are likely to set a genuine tempo. SUBRISING (6) has found the distances too short in her first two runs this campaign. Much better placed by the rise in trip and drop in grade. Expected to go close. ULUWATU (7) went about her work in good style on debut. Scratched from a race on Friday night for this. Expected to feature prominently. PRINCEOFNOTTINGHAM (3) won stylishly at Avoca before racing handy and boxing on well last time at Terang. On home track here and has to be respected. LE MESSAGER (1) has featured in the money at past couple of starts and is sure to make his presence felt again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Subrising and Uluwatu to win.
