GOING: G(3)

CITY OF GREATER GERALDTON MAIDEN 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Moderate pace only with Dixie Princess leading Ginger Jive. GINGER JIVE (4) ran a better race last start when leading into the home stretch and then weakening late. She has a superior gate this time and with 100 metres less to travel, she may just see it through. She is worth one more chance in a field that lacks any real depth. DIXIE PRINCESS (8) has enough early speed to hold her spot from a good gate and she is worth including in all combinations. ITS A LOVE STORY (2) is resuming from a spell and she should have strengthened up. She has since changed stables and the smaller yard could suit her. The trip is short of her best, but she can't be risked in this mediocre lineup. PRIZED BENEFIT (6) showed some ability when trained in Queensland and that form should hold up in this area. The markets will be your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ginger Jive to win.
