GOING: S(5)

KENNARDS HIRE PLATE 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.21)  

Teylu to find the front in the small field. ARGANTORATI (5) debuts for the Ible yard and owns a Kembla Grange trial win. Day sticks aboard and she maps for the run of the race. IL PASSERO (2) resumes as a gelding in easier and has been fitted with a Warwick Farm trial. Has an awkward gate but McDougall's booking suggests he's pleasing. TEYLU (3) is a speedy local on resumption. Just missed here before the spell and he has a low barrier and the blinkers first-time applied. A bold run is likely. RUBY DOBIE (9) resumes and owns two Albury trial wins. Ward comes to ride and she also deserves consideration at good odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Argantorati.
