GOING: G(4)

Harrington Design & Construction F&M Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.06)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Chirography may lead the way over Matrooshi. GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS (4) showed plenty of potential as a 3-year-old and was beaten by a nose in the Listed Strutt Stakes at Hobart earlier in the year. It is a good sign that she is fresh up over 1400m and from a good draw, she is the one to beat in a straight maiden field. MATROOSHI (6) is having her third start on her home track and is steadily improving. She meets a good type in the top pick but has the fitness edge and could push that runner close. LUNA CRUISER (5) did not fire here fresh up 3 weeks ago but has a better draw this time and in a positive move, the blinkers go on for the first time. She is expected to improve quickly. DIABLO DANCER (2) ran below expectations last time out at Kilmore and he jockey felt that she may want some cut in the ground. Declan Bates picks up the ride and the pair merit healthy respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Girls Girls Girls to win.
