GOING: G(4)

CUP DAY 8TH NOVEMBER MAIDEN PLATE 1450m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace from with M'lady's Luck and Welcome Back prominent. IMAREALAMERICAN (8) fought hard to just miss making the perfect start on debut here at the latest. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt and is expected to take some beating. TANGLEWOOD JIMMY (3) knuckled down gamely in the lane to get close to the winner when resuming here last start. Has since been gelded. One of the main hopes. LONHREEL (5) closed off strongly into the frame when resuming off a 431-day break at Tamworth. Hasn't been as effective in her next two starts but should be peaking now as she drops back in trip. Don't dismiss. BELLE OF THE BAYOU (4) was better last start. Fitter again and warrants respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imarealamerican gets the nod.
