GOING: G

bet365 Never Ordinary Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.50)  

Genuine tempo anticipated with good speed engaged. Looks a good starting point for LET'SFACETHEMUSIC (5). Finished last campaign in stakes class and is long overdue for a maiden win. Has trialled well leading into this and returning well back in grade gets his chance to get off the mark. TUXEDO MISS (11) is another close to a maiden win. Did the work up front two back then a solid fourth at Sale latest. Expected to give a sight again. STARLITA (10) is a first starter from the Hawkes barn. By Brutal from Squaw Peak and has been trialling and jumping out well. Scratched recently to save for this and bold debut expected. BRUTALRULE (4) was runner-up at big odds at debut then fourth in a tougher maiden at Pakenham last time. Has further upside and can measure up this time. RUSKY RIPPER (2) is a Russian Revolution gelding making a belated debut and has been jumping out well. Watch the market closely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Let'sfacethemusic.

The race before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 10 at Wodonga Mdn-Sw on January 5 over 1200m, 4 len behind Shesoutofthisworld with 56kg at $2.35. Not far away last time. Capable of building on that performance and she looks one of the main chances.
