GOING: G(4)

GATTON MEAT CENTRE Maiden Plate 860m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m from 900m-600m. Out Out 1.5m from 600m-250m.  

Strong early tempo with Levar leading the way over Ending Sweet. Metro-trained LEVAR (4) trialled sharply and was narrowly beaten at Ipswich on debut. Better for that and can use the inside gate to advantage. The one they have to beat. ENDING SWEET (9) resumes for the State's premier barn and has had a soft trial. Started $4 at Eagle Farm on debut and pulled up with an issue. The betting will be key with her. A gap to OAKFIELD PANTHER (2) got close at Warwick and is on the quick back-up. Keeps the 3kg claim and can get some of the money at a price. DINOSPHERE (1) debuts and is a market watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Levar sets a decent standard.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when ran last of 8 at Esk 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 9 over 800m, 7 len behind Pride Of Nala with 56.5kg at $2.50. Sure to be around the mark.

Resuming after a six months break. Not seen since she finished blinkers first time; ran last of 12 at Beaudesert Mdn-Sw December 30 over 1400m, soft track; 16 len behind Enterprise Success with 55kg at $15. On debut eighth of 12 at Sunshine Coast Mdn November 24 over 1000m, soft track; 10 len behind Party Spirit carrying 56.5kg at $101. Others make more appeal.
