GOING: S

S&S Equipment Rental & Sales Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.70)  

Anticipating Never A Thought to be prominent but one or more of the unraced runners should add to the early pressure. SATIN DIVA (13) debuts for the premier stable with Craig Williams is a key jockey engagement. She looked good winning a recent Cranbourne jumpout and finds a winnable initial assignment. NEVER A THOUGHT (4) is also by Better Than Ready. He was expected to beat a small field at Pakenham on debut but pulled up with an issue. He has been kept on the fresh side and should enjoy the give in the track. His lead-ups were sharp and Hefel will likely push forward. CARTIER ISLAND (5) made good improvement at Werribee and maps for a soft run. She can get closer today. WATCHING OVER US (11) resumes and showed enough on debut to go into the trifectas at least. SUGGESTED PLAY: Satin Diva looks the one.
