GOING: G

XXXX Maiden Plate 1498m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Sweetwillhebe leading from Crackling Royale and Mr Jones. SWEETWILLHEBE (7) was denied narrowly from getting off the mark here last start. Further improvement to come and gets in well at the weights again with the 3kg claimer sticking. Ready to win. SCARFACE (3) only just missed shedding the maiden tag here when resuming back in May. Wasn't as effective second-up but was strong through the line last start when finishing fourth. Cherry-ripe now and can give this a big shake. KUNG FU KISSES (11) failed to get involved here last start but was showing some positive signs prior. Interesting to note that the blinkers go on first time. Don't take lightly. Smaller cases can also be made for OUR SWOOSH (2) and MR JONES (1). SUGGESTED PLAY: Sweetwillhebe the one to beat.
