GOING: G(3)

SCOBIE BREASLEY & STUART ANDERSON CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: Good 3   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Yet Tobe A Cod leading Star Empire. HOT ONE (8) caught the eye last start at Echuca when coming from a long way back to finish midfield, only 1.6L away from the winner. Draws to take much closer order from the inside pillar and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Can get the job done. BRANNUM (2) broke through in determined fashion at Moruya last start, knuckling down strongest with Boudvillain aboard. Same rider sticks and he's well placed to go back-to-back. CARAVANSERAI (3) stuck on gamely into second at Moruya over the same trip. Best figures stack up and he looks a key danger. STAR EMPIRE (5) has missed the frame at his last couple but could improve sharply with the blinkers going on first time. Keeping safe. PEARL TROUT (9) is building fitness and looks ready to peak. Has a wide draw to overcome but can still figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Hot One to win.
