GOING: G

Perricoota Station Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.37)  

It could be a trot and canter given the lack of pace engaged. SO VOGUE (5) might be the one on he up, though, improving sharply when up to 2000m at just his second start and looks primed for a peak performance. JAZZANSKI (9) was well-held first-up, showed good improvement last time out and will be much better served up to this distance. CALL UP KING (1) showed something for the first time in his career first-up, so he might have turned the corner between campaigns. SHADES OF SHERIFF (4) consistently features in the top four so is a consideration for the wider exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Vogue to win.
