GOING: S(5)

Benson Group Contractors Maiden Plate 1110m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Tidal Surge is the likely leader at a strong tempo. SPRING AIR (13) is a filly by Brazen Beau on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. She's looked smart at the trials and jump outs and the stable are excellent with their debutants. Expected to go close. YES YES TESS (14) was close up in fourth on debut at Cranbourne when in the market and should be better for that run. Looks a strong hope. ZOUSSENTIAL (10) is a Zousain gelding on debut for the Keys yard. His trials have been sound and he's won a jump out. Can measure up. AQUILION GIRL (6) has had a few chances but isn't racing poorly and can figure again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spring Air to win.
