GOING: S

Evergreen Turf Maiden Plate 2720m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.6).  

An okay tempo with Whiskey Tango leading. WHISKEY TANGO (11) is a former Kiwi jumper who resumed with a solid on the flat at Benalla over 2100m before finding a place at Bendigo over 2400m following. He should relish the extra metres and is the one to beat. PLASTIC DREAMS (8) comes off a run in Listed grade over this trip and will be better for it. Mott goes aboard and back plenty in grade, he should be in the finish. Tougher sorting the others. BIT OF A RAIDER (1) is in the Preusker yard and can improve with the step up to this distance. Hard fit and should enjoy a soft run. ROLLING THUNDER (9) is on the quick backup following a hurdle outing over two miles. His flat form is okay and he will run it out. RUMOUR LANE (13) is the other Preusker acceptor and she's showing enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Whiskey Tango.
