GOING: S(6)

EAGLES PLUMBING PLUS SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Zamazing has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. STEEL RAIN (7) comes here with a massive fitness edge over most of these from the low draw. Had to work hard from the wide gate and was a spent force over the final 300m when a tiring eighth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Gets a better set-up today and will take catching. PIRRIP (3) slow into stride on debut and chipped away late when seventh over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Expecting a better showing today out to the mile. WALK LIKE A MAN (9) much better showing at his second run back, when taking ground off them with the 59kg to secure fifth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Leading apprentice engaged and expected to figure prominently. ZAMAZING (11) will find this more to her liking with her on pace race pattern. Not that far off them on the line when a fading sixth over 1550m at Canterbury. Stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Steel Rain each way.
