GOING: S(7)

TEAM AIDAN MOTHER'S DAY MARKETS THIS SUNDAY CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1635m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. ELLE MAGIC (12) didn't threaten last start at Doomben when tackling tougher opposition but went very close two back in a similar grade. Rates highly on best efforts and will appreciate the drop in trip. CROWN'M (2) chased gamely into the frame in testing conditions last start at Tuncurry. Was a determined maiden winner here to kick off the campaign. Can repeat the dose. JACINDA BELLE (8) has hit the line nicely in all three runs this time in. Fitter again and gets the chance to take closer order from the better draw. Can give this a big shake. BORN CONQUEROR (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elle Magic to win.
1 4x951 BORN CONQUEROR
