GOING: H

Ladbrokes Own Spring Maiden Plate 2400m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Grinding Away to take the lead and control the tempo. ZEDWILLDO (6) has placed in his past two, good at $81 at Kyneton two back before a solid second at Mornington last time. He'll relish the extra step to 2400m and can break through. CHARLIE MESSY HAIR (1) placed over 2600m at Ballarat two back, only beaten 1.5 lengths, which saw him start $2.80 last time out, finishing fourth. He can bounce back. LYTTELTON (4) has had a few chances but is racing well of late. He should have no issue stepping up to 2400m and should be thereabouts again. GRINDING AWAY (3) has placed in his past two, only just behind Zedwilldo at Mornington. He can land on speed and take catching. INSTINCTIVE SPIRIT (12) has been close up when in the market at her past couple and is right in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zedwilldo to win.

Second run from a spell 4th of 9 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on November 14 over 2600m, 4.5 len behind Maritorious with 59.5kg at $2.80. Capable of a better showing. Best efforts give him a live chance.
