GOING: F

XXXX GOLD MAIDEN 1200m

Track: Fast     Rail: True.  

In the small field Sansanee or Ricco D'oro should find the front. SANSANEE (5) sat up on the speed at Carnarvon last start and only just missed when beaten 1L. She's knocking on the door of her maiden victory and she did jump an odds-on chance there. Ticks plenty of boxes and can get the job done this time. PUDDIN 'N' PIE (6) is a nine-start maiden who is right on the cusp, the latest effort a solid second at Carnarvon over 1600m after being prominent at the turn. The drop in trip is a niggle, though if she runs to recent form she'll be right in the finish.. IFFUBLUSH (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Among the chances. OSCAR WINNER (3) resumes from a spell of ten weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1406m at Roebourne. Can pick up where he left off. Solid top-three hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sansanee gets the nod in the opener.
