Wodonga   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S

Wodonga Jewellers Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with Manalore and Sophie's Award prominent. PRIVATE STORM (8) improved again placing at Geelong. That's good form for a country sprint and he's been kept on the fresh side. SOPHIE'S AWARD (14) ran a good figure at Wangaratta and then was overpowered at Ballarat after leading from a wide gate. This suits much better and he draws to advantage. GRUNDY THREE VOTES (4) maps for the run of the race and will be sharper second-up over a longer sprint. LUCKY MO (7) is a first starter from the Howley camp that deserves a market watch. Respect any moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Private Storm.

Not the worst.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 11 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on May 7 over 1106m, 18 len behind Valetudo carrying 59.5kg at $151. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
