GOING: G(4)

FAIRBAIRN BAKERY EMERALD Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True. (Pent: 4.01)  

Expecting Long Play to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. MISHANI SUNSET (10) is resuming from a long spell for a new trainer. She trialled last month and wasn't asked for much. She copes with a wet track, and the early markets suggest that she is ready to run a big race. Watch closely. LONG PLAY (9) did a lot wrong last time out and still managed to finish second. The blinkers are on for the first time, and she will be hard to hold out. COOL MAN SHOW (1) had some fair results on the picnic circuit during the spring and will be even stronger this year. He has the pole position and is worth including in all combinations. FIVELEAFCLOVER (3) is on debut with the blinkers on, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he is with keeping an eye on, especially if there is any money for him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Long Play each way.
