GOING: S(6)

TOOHEYS EXTRA DRY MAIDEN PLATE 1180m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Pace will be genuine with Brandywine and Special Bella locking horns in advance of Let'savalook and Swing City. SPECIAL PROPHET (2) returns. Raced twice in his maiden campaign and wasn't far away on either occasion including the last run when fourth at Cowra. Should take a lot from that first preparation and is high among the list of chances. ANGEL OF SPRING (6) is a five-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Narrandera. Settles back early but winds up late. Will prove hard to hold out. AFTER THE ONE (5) ran above expectations and got up for second at long odds at her latest appearance at Wagga over 1200m. Good signs last time and can feature in the finish. LET'SAVALOOK (9) did her best work late and finished third last time over 1080m at Canberra Acton, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Special Prophet the one to beat.
