GOING: S(5)

RINNAI MAIDEN PLATE 1110m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

They should run this along with I'm Opinionated and Skyza taking it up over Incantress. Very plain affair to open proceedings. ANDREA (9) backs up six days after a modest effort over a shorter trip at Grafton. Finds an easier maiden this time and can improve sharply with the blinkers applied for the first time. Speedy filly INCANTRESS (6) filled a placing for the first time at her latest appearance, leading most of the way before finding one better over 1206m at this track. Perfectly drawn and is sure to be prominent for a long way. I'M OPINIONATED (5) led for the judge and gave those who took the 50s a huge thrill at Dubbo recently, ultimately being swamped late and missing the frame in a blanket finish. Big chance here with a similar performance. SANTOS EL HALPER (2) is fitter for three runs back from a spell and from a perfect barrier can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Andrea.
