GOING: G(4)

NEIL MANSELL CONCRETE Maiden Plate 1625m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6).  

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. SKIEDA (12) was only beaten 2L at Doomben building on a solid debut. That's good form and she will be better for it. Will go close with average luck. MAN TALK (11) was narrowly beaten here over this trip as favourite. Peaks now and the winkers go on. Can go one better. ALIGN THE PLANETS (1) has been off his peaks but tries hard and will find this easier than the Sunshine Coast. In the mix. DREAM PASSAGE (6) is in the top metro barn and will find this more manageable than Doomben her last two. Has a wide gate but no surprise if she shows more. CONTRICK (10) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Skieda.
