GOING: G(4)

Sealink Maiden Plate 1215m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Prohibited. ULTRON (3) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1360m at this track. In the right race and is a winning hope. HYSTERICAL LADY (9) resumes. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at Murray Bridge. Tuned up with two times leading into this. Nicely placed and expected to go well. BEL HOTESSE (8) turned in a nice effort two days ago when finishing a narrow second over this track and trip after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. OCOTILLO (1) returns. Finds the maiden win elusive but has produced some solid efforts that put him in the mix in this line-up. 2kg claimer engaged gets him in well at the weights. In the mix. PETITE PUISSANCE (11) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ultron to win.
