GOING: G

The Women in Racing Luncheon 24th Oct Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Battle Jack, King Bling and Apolaki. KING BLING (6) raced forward and boxed on to finish second over 1100m at this track last time. Should camp just off the leaders and won't know himself in Maiden grade. Fitter and tough to beat. DYNASTY REWARD (4) is returning from a spell and was last seen placing on the Ballarat Synthetic. Now with a new trainer Kevin Lamprecht and if presented on song can make his presence felt. APOLAKI (1) has also switched barns and was last seen 20 days ago over 900m at Mt Gambier. Race forward, and most of the extra gear comes off. In the finish at best. BATTLE JACK (2) tries had and is on a quick backup. Likely to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing King Bling.
1 x0x76 APOLAKI

Third-up today. Resuming raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw on August 30 over 1005m, slow going 4 len behind Tesoro Mio with 58kg at $20. Second run from a spell didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 12 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 21 over 900m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Bubion carrying 58kg at $13. Terrific chance to return to form.
