GOING: S(5)

KEN JOLLEY CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2110m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 36)   Rail: +2.5m 950m-300m; +1.5m 300m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

A small field that lacks a pacemaker. DOWN UNDER STUNNAH (4) lightly raced mare set to peak. Chipped away late when fifth over 1800m at the Gold Coast. Proven at the trip and gets map favours. MAHUIKA MAROI (5) was rewarded for her consistency when accounted for a maiden field in a tight finish over 1720m at Grafton. Bred to get this trip and further and Ben Looker retains the ride. Top-three player. CRIMSON SPIRIT (3) indicated a win was imminent when she plugged away late for a respectable third over 2200m at the Sunshine Coast. Will relish Newman's claim and she finds an easier assignment. CAESAR CAKE (2) finally got off the mark at start twenty-nine with a tough Maiden win over 2000m at Toowoomba. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. SUGGESTED PLAY: Down Under Stunnah each-way.
