GOING: S

Conferences at The Laurels Maiden Plate 1105m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.73)  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. NATIONAL CODE (11) is a filly by leading sire Written Tycoon on debut for the Hayes yard. She's won a couple of jump outs leading in and is expected to take a power of beating first time out. INSAIN HARRY (4) has a bit of solid race experience and wasn't far away in a strong maiden at Cranbourne last time out. Should be very competitive at each way odds. ELECTRIC STAR (10) is a filly by Zoustar on debut for the McDonald yard with Ben Melham booked to ride. Wary. ELITE PETE (3) can resume with a sound run. SUGGESTED PLAY: National Code to win.
