GOING: S(6)

LAKE MACQUARIE CARPET CLEANING SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 900m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 400m-W/Post. Out 5m Remainder.  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Rare Moon and Party Prophet. RARE MOON (11) was solid in a midfield debut and that form line has stood up since. Should find an improving track and with race experience can find a few lengths. Go close. RIDE THE RIVER (8) showed talent in a two-start debut campaign and resumes over a quick pinch trip. Has trialled twice of late and looks sure to be prominent from the outset. GLISTENING PEARL (9) has been close up in both trials and is a stylishly bred type. This is not an overly strong line-up so expect a competitive debut showing. PARTY PROPHET (10) failed on debut at Scone but did win a recent trial in good style. Ideally drawn to post a better result first up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rare Moon win.
