TABTOUCH BETTER YOUR BET MAIDEN 1117m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: +5m entire.  

Moderate tempo expected with Dixie Princess likely to find the front over Kinky Boots and Inspirational Mac. CALEB (2) trialled well coming in but was a little slow into stride first-up, sticking on well to finish 2.3L off the winner. Back in trip today is some query, though he'll be fitter and more experienced from his latest effort. Can jump cleaner this time and shed the maiden tag. ALLA PING (8) is on debut for the Reynolds stable after bolting in at the trials at this track recently. The good draw should see her in the firing line and this doesn't look a strong maiden. Can make an immediate impact. SUMMER MOOD (5) is building nicely this campaign, finishing 1.4L off the winner here last time out. Back in trip now, but she was solid here two back under Yuill. Sure to be there at the finish. ONE SHOT WONDER (3) drops back in trip today after feeling the pinch late last start. Can put his best foot forward. DIXIE PRINCESS (4) can improve now dropping back in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caleb can win the opener.
