GOING: S

Scotchmans Hill F&M Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44)  

Expecting Marine Empress to lead Sloane Raider at just a moderate tempo. Hard to see how they beat MARINE EMPRESS (3) who should be deep into the red. Three career runs to date are all good enough to win this, resuming in a tougher maiden at Caulfield Heath as favourite, working home well for second. She'll strip fitter now, is suited to 1600m and with even luck should be winning. GOOD HARMONY (9) is the biggest threat. She just missed two back at Pakenham over 1400m, beaten at $1.65 on deteriorating ground there last time. Have to forgive that and she does draw softly. MACCA'S ANGEL (10) might be an improver getting up in trip. She was okay at Ballarat last time and can improve third up. SATIRICA (7) resumes off a long spell. Watch the betting for the new yard. STARTIN'SUMTHIN' (11) was well beaten on debut at Geelong but will be an improver up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Marine Empress to win.
