GOING: G(3)

CAMPBELL'S FUEL SERVICE MAIDEN PLATE 950m

Track: Good 3   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Unreliable Critic leading the way. LORD PROTECTOR (1) returns from a 23-week break in a new stable. Form in Victoria last prep was strong, with three minor placings in a row to end the campaign. This journey is a long way short of his best but while fresh he should do enough to take care of this field. SPECULA (6) went to the lead in a new role last start and was only denied in the final bounds over 1100m at Narromine. Drops 3kgs today and back to this trip will be difficult to run down. UNRELIABLE CRITIC (3) started favourite but offered little last Saturday over 1200m at Mudgee. Worth another chance back to this trip on a quick turnaround. STAGE FRIGHT (7) has been poor at her last couple but she has placed 2/4 at this trip so a top three finish is not out of the question. THE PERCENTAGE (2) is the only other runner and he looks to have the job ahead. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lord Protector.
