CAIRNS POST Maiden Plate 1500m Track: Soft 5 Clouds (Max: 28) Rail: True. (Pent: 5.11) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate tempo with Cool Macaw leading the way.
The well-related LECONFIELD (5) (half to G2 winner Tuscan Queen) is a former NSW galloper who was a touch disappointing at the latest run but the first-up third for the new stable was good enough for a race like this. Will be near peak fitness now third-up from the spell and strikes a very winnable contest here. The hardest to toss. ARIK LAD (1) has had a few chances but has been thereabouts of late and Cormack sticks in the saddle following the past couple of outings. Looms as the main danger. MISS COMANECI (9) went down by a narrow margin last time out and looks to be on the doorstep of a maiden victory. In the mix. KELLISA (8) has just run into one better at the past couple and should get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Include in calculations. KAMMERZELL HOUSE (4) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,9,8.
