GOING: S

Winsec Savings & Loans Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with the first-starters making it interesting as well. CARAT TIME (1) had been racing soundly before disappointing at Wodonga last time. Has been kept fresh since that performance and can bounce back here. ROSARY (10) has finished runner-up in both her starts to date, both times on this circuit. Doesn't have to improve too much to feature again. Expected to give a bold sight. ZOUKEEPER (8) is going to strip fitter for first run for new stable. Is trained locally and won't be too far away at the business end. SUPERSONIC LEGEND (6) has been a steady improver this campaign and after filling a place at Ballarat last time, must be treated with respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Carat Time and Rosary to win.
