GOING: G

Fleurieu Milk Company Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

A strong tempo is assured with She'll Be Right and Top Shogunn leading the charge. FAST TEMPO (4) didn't have the best time of it at Morphettville last start competing in a 72-3yo. He debuted with a nice effort in a 62 and will appreciate the drop to Maiden grade. Maps well, and the step up to the mile will suit. He's showing enough to say this is winnable. RIKKI RIKKARDO (10) improved again, beaten 1L this track/trip before leading over 1900m at Oakbank, swamped. She's on a 7-day return and is better suited. A bounce is likely. RARAMURI (6) worked home solidly at Penola on debut behind a dominant winner. Has an awkward barrier, but he should appreciate the mile and is a hope. SO GRAND (12) peaks and is going well enough to consider. The filly sits at the bottom of the weights, and Neindorf is a positive jockey booking. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Fast Tempo.
