GOING: S(7)

Sportsbet Maiden Plate 1700m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1700m-1500m Including Chutes, +2m 800m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 7.00)  

Genuine tempo from Cracken Good Time leading Always Bold. Looks a race with three key chances in LOS ALAMOSS (9), CRACKEN GOOD TIME (2) and ALWAYS BOLD (1). Los Alamoss is getting closer to a win and looks well placed on the short back-up having run home well at Balaklava on Wednesday. He handles wet tracks and he looks ready for the step back to 1700m. Cracken Good Time draws well and should be able to make his own luck over a track and distance he ran very well at last start. Always Bold has had plenty of chances but his recent form is his best. The race drops away pretty quickly but if you're looking for something at a price, SONIC RIP (12) and OH LOVEY NO (10) warrant thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Los Alamoss to win.

Racing well recently.

The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 25 over 1700m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Donam with 58kg at $21. Great chance to atone if he continues solid form on wet tracks.
