Eagle Farm   08 May 2024
 
GOING: S(7)

XXXX Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.88).  

Plenty of early pace with One Command and Flywheel showing the way. Heathcote-trained FLYWHEEL (4) spiked his figures missing a nose at Ipswich and then again beaten 3.4L in the Listed Daybreak Lover here. It was a commendable effort from a wide barrier. He's suited and rates to break through. Ciaron Maher has switched ONE COMMAND (7) from his Sydney barn and has a solid foundation for this contest. He will likely push forward and Maloney is a positive jockey engagement. ROSSO LEVANTO (12) settled last and was beaten a whisker at Rockhampton on debut. Draws awkwardly again but that's offset to an extent by Orman's booking. She's in a sharp yard and will keep improving. SKIEDA (13) peaks off a nose defeat at Toowoomba and was even better beaten 2.2L at Doomben prior. Maps for a soft run and she can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Flywheel.
