GOING: G(4)

Rich River Party Hire Maiden Plate 1800m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.18).  

No noted leader but Paltinian, Japanese Whisper and Squaw will be prominent. PALTINIAN (1) has more upside than most in this and was runner-up as favourite at Wodonga 18 days ago. He will be suited by the step up to 1800m and from pole position, he should get the job done. I SEE STARS (7) finished sixth in the same race as the top pick last start and is racing beyond a mile for the first time. Each way claims in this field. TAVOLTA (3) had no chance from a wide draw at Warrnambool 12 days ago and was much better before that at Hamilton. He is worth another chance in a field that lacks depth. JAPANESE WHISPER (8) has changed stables since last racing and has had some gear changes. A market watch is advised. SUGGESTED PLAY: Paltinian to win.
