GOING: S(5)

Welcome back to Night Racing in Launnie Maiden/Class 1 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Beau Warrior has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. OPENSEA (2) brings a 4.5 Maiden win from the synthetic this distance and Darmanin stays aboard. On a 5-day return and it won't surprise if he goes on with the job. DON'T GIVE UP (1) peaks off a 1L defeat on the synthetic this trip and grade. He was good at Hobart prior and won't get so far off them here. Loses Darmanin but is a big threat. TIZSA NICE DROP (7) is another easy synthetic Maiden winner back to the turf. Maps well and she can't be ruled out. HARRATA (6) dropped back miles to a sprint on the synthetic and disappointed as a short-priced favourite. Better at a mile and the 4kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Opensea.
