GOING: G(4)

Moyne Shire Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.15)  

The presence of a few first starters will keep Miss Kanimbla honest. THE NEPHILIM (2) resumes having his first run for a new yard. Placed in a recent jumpout and Kersley rides from a low. He's raced well in better Maidens and has to be considered. NEEDLESTICK (10) debuts and has jumped out well. Yendall stays aboard, and she can feature with average luck in the run. DAD BOD (1) is a first-starter by Fleet Review out of Smiths Beach. Has been well educated with four hit-outs leading into this, the latest when placing in a Horsham jump-out. The inside alley is a help so keep safe. SOMETHING WHITE (7) peaks and is showing enough to suggest she can get some of the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Nephilim on top.
