GOING: S

S&S Equipment and Hire 3YO Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. SMARTICON (8) finds the right race. He placed first up at Geelong when beaten just a neck before an even effort at Seymour. Can improve again third up and his best figures see him go close. MERCHANT OF GREECE (6) resumes. He showed promise in two runs last time in when respected by the market. He's won a jump out leading in and can run a bold race. DYNASTY REWARD (2) was in the market on debut at Bendigo, okay there when finishing sixth, beaten three lengths. He's won a jump out since and should take natural improvement. BIG BIG KNIGHT (1) has won a jump out leading into his debut and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smarticon on top.
