GOING: S(7)

PACIFIC PLAN MANAGEMENT MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m 1100m-W/Post, +6m Remainder.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Think Of One heading them off. RHEGION (6) has been close up in both starts over shorter trips. Senior rider and a soft draw say yes. NAVY BUOY (4) looked to have every chance in a limited field last start but should be at peak now. Well drawn with winning claims. THINK OF ONE (7) has been solid in two runs back from a spell and handles all conditions. Can figure in a neat fit. EXPLICIT (10) takes on older horses after a bold run at big odds last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rhegion win.
