Warracknabeal   27 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(6)

The Bentley Group Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large contingent of first starters. ANECDOTAL (1) looks the one today in a big field to kick off a mammoth card at Warracknabeal. Led most the way last time but was just nutted in the shadows of the post. Brings the ratings and the form and can be winning this. FOX MAN (3) has placed in six of nine career starts and rarely puts in a bad effort. Looks around the mark as always. PATYEP (17) resumes and warrants attention after an encouraging debut prep. Keep safe. MURMULLO (9) should be prominent throughout and can build on a 3.5 len sixth placing when resuming on June 10. Don't dismiss. TE AWAM UTU (10) showed more than expected on debut and backs up quickly here, looking to cash in. Each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Anecdotal looks the one to beat today.

Fitzwood Pty Ltd (Mgr: A Goulopoulos)
Form hard to fault. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 975m, head behind Dobkins carrying 58kg at $1.95. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at Werribee 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 16 over 1110m, long-neck behind Nimbustwothousand with 58kg at $61. Should prove very hard to catch.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 6th of 8 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 975m, 5.5 len behind Dobkins carrying 56kg at $61. Would have to improve significantly on what we've seen to play a role here.
