BATTEN DISEASE AWARENESS Maiden Plate 2000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire .  

Poseidon's Bluff should be able to comfortably find the front. The maiden stayers kick us off. MARAVICH (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up at the past couple of outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Will be rock-hard fit for this and only needs some luck from the wide draw to be playing a role in the outcome. BOLERO (7) has been thereabouts in recent efforts and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate three. Looms as the main danger. LILICA EBET (10) has placed around this circuit and gets the services of Wheeler in the irons. Top-three candidate. MOR KOMPASHYN (4) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid second here when resuming. Worth another chance. SAVEA (3) next in line in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maravich to shed the maiden tag.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, second last of 10 at Toowoomba Mdn on May 3 over 1300m, 19 len behind Maravillas carrying 57.5kg at $91. Last start 5th of 8 at Toowoomba Mdn-Sw on May 24 over 2000m, slow going 4 len behind Henley Room carrying 58.5kg at $101. Not far away latest but happy enough to avoid.

At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Toowoomba Mdn-Sw on May 24 over 2000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Henley Room with 58.5kg at $3.30. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Toowoomba Mdn on May 10 over 1890m, 3.5 len behind Samurai Warrior carrying 59kg at $4.80. Will find less depth here and if he can settle closer this time he will prove hard to hold out.
