GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Own Spring Maiden 1220m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +8m 1200m-W/Post, +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.66)  

Strong early tempo with Sky Land and Smiffy leading the way over Celtic Rose and Heart Of Paris. SKY LAND (13) spiked her figures narrowly beaten in an Open 3 at Hobart. Presents at peak fitness and Newitt is reunited. She's the galloper they have to beat. CELTIC ROSE (12) missed by a similar margin here in a Maiden as a $3 favourite. Fourth up the speedy filly will get every chance to make amends. GEEGEEHAILSTORM (6) won a trial and resumed here with a decent effort from a wide barrier. Has an inside gate and can keep improving. NEED A GIGGLE (3) gives away starts but he will be running into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sky Land to win.
