Werribee   31 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Viatek Geelong Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.27)  

Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. Maher-trained WILTSHIRE SQUARE (9) went close in a Group 3 three stars back and resumed as favourite this grade at The Heath, beaten 1.3L at a short quote. Strips fitter with Linda aboard, and sets a decent standard. GOLD UNDER (6) debuts and is also in a top stable. She's been sharp at the jump-outs and maps well. The likely danger. REGINA DEI RE (7) was beaten 2L at Ballarat on debut, and it was a good effort. She will improve off that and can make the finish. CARTIER ISLAND (5) jumped out well, but needed her debut outing. Showed enough to suggest she'll win races. WAYNE'S DREAM (8) wasn't beaten far at Echuca on debut and can build on that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wiltshire Square appeals.
