GOING: G(4)

BECOME A BRC MEMBER Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +5.5m Entire.  

Louisburgh has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LOUISBURGH (3) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in all five runs this preparation and strikes a winnable contest here. Brings solid NSW formlines to the table and has placed three of four over this six-furlong journey. Looks the one they all have to run down. The well-related SOME STYLE (7) (half to G1 winner Peeping) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Revved up for this with a recent trial and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. Former NSW galloper BOMBARD (5) also hails from a handy family (half to 2xG2 winner Cifrado) and has been okay in both local runs for Gollan. Should be ready to peak now third-up and is certainly in the mix. VOODOO LASS (9) draws the inside alley and may earn some minor money. ROCK ON ANGEL (6) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Louisburgh to shed the maiden tag.
