GOING: F

Rossigns & Multi Print Maiden Plate 1498m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Looks a keen contest with Nouveau Marche and Dora Aurora pressing for the lead with Star Casino and Holder Maid close at hand. NOUVEAU MARCHE (3) has found the maiden win elusive but continues to knock on the door. Draws well and gets in well with the claim. Gets her chance to break through. DORA AURORA (9) showed early dash and stuck on well last start at Gawler. First time tackling this journey but has upside and should be hitting her straps now fourth-up. STAR CASINO (6) didn’t finish off as expected last start but has the ability to bounce back. Respect. THE REAL PRINCE (4) was much better last start when sticking on gamely into fourth here. Draws to get all the favours and is worth keeping safe. HOLDER MAID (10) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nouveau Marche gets the nod.
