GOING: S

bet365 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.71)  

Speed should be right on over the 1100m journey. TANGOETTE (7) resumes for a new barn and showed enough in her first two starts to say this is winnable. She jumped out well at Ararat and followed with a 2L Horsham trial win. She will be naturally improved and is drawn inside. FLUX (3) found more like his best at Horsham second-up, narrowly beaten at a short quote. He won't have to improve much to go close. BRILLIANT EIGHT (1) peaks and has been racing well. he gets his chance in this contest. ANNE PONSARDE (5) debuts from and inside gate with a handy 2kg claim. Placed second in a Geelong trial last month. THINK BABY (8) resumes and jumps from the inside gate with Kersley booked. Usually needs one, but deserves to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tangoette rates well.
