GOING: S

Ladbrokes Form Genius Maiden Plate 2470m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 9m 1700m - 800m, Out 11m Remainder.  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. COWARRIE (2) improved again beaten a nose at Seymour over 2246m. Presents at peak fitness and maps for the run of the race. He rates to break through for the Danny O'Brien stable. WAYED IN LIGHT (9) will be fancied on the back of her 1L defeat at Echuca over 2100m. She was heavily bet in that and Ben Allen is reunited. Has plenty of scope for improvement. SIVA TAU (10) has his third start and is sure to build on the distant placing at Mornington. John Allen will give him every chance from an inside barrier. WET 'N' DRY (6) has been knocking on the door on wet tracks. He'll come late and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cowarrie each-way.
