GOING: G(4)

EMIRATES PARK MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +5m 800m-400m, True Remainder Cutaway Applies . (Pent: 4.90)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Tosmian taking charge. ECLAIR VITALITY (2) lightly raced gelding who brings the best form here. Resumes from a lengthy break after finishing a solid second over 1300m here last August. Fitted with the two trials and gets his chance from the inside gate. SLAM DUNK (4) came out fast from the wide gate on resumption and showed plenty of tenacity when a nose second over 900m at Muswellbrook. A repeat of the latest can see him break through. TOSMIAN (5) finally draws a decent gate at her third race start. Came out fast from the outside draw and knocked up late when a gritty fifth over 1000m at Taree. Will go forward again and play a leading role. LITTLE GIRL (8) Invader filly from Bird Inthe Heather on debut. In the placings at her most recent trial and respect any market confidence. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eclair Vitality to break through.
