The Bentley Group Maiden Plate 1000m Track: Good 4 Rain (Max: 26) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate tempo with Fat Bottom Girl leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. FAT BOTTOM GIRL (7) hinted with a good first-up run that she had come back better than previous campaigns and it's worth noting she didn't have a jumpout or trial leading into that so she should be significantly better for it. REDEMPTION TIME (8) has been a frustration for connections, having not been able to crack it for a win after 18 starts but figuring in the placings on eight occasions. Hard to tip with confidence but is a must for quinellas and trifectas. WHATA STRETCH (3) is another who has trialled well and hasn't missed a First 4 slot in his past six starts. COOL CHARLIE (1) needs to lift to be a winning hope, but should be better for the first-up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fat Bottom Girl each way.
