GOING: G(4)

Magain Maiden Plate 1900m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

Bocheeva to take up the running with Prince Lucifer and The Punk Rocker close at hand. BOCHEEVA (1) has built into this prep strongly, with two solid recent efforts and wasn’t beaten far last time. Looks to be hitting his straps now and Crowther sticking is a big plus. Leading player. PRINCE LUCIFER (8) has been knocking on the door for some time and gets another good chance to break through. Draws well for Holder and looms as an obvious danger. THE PUNK ROCKER (7) continues to threaten. Showed versatility last start when sent forward from a wide draw. From the inside alley he gets all the favours and can give this a shake. CLASSY CLARET (2) improved sharply last start in town. Backs up quickly and won’t find this as tough. Only needs to hold his form to be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Bocheeva.

Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on December 3 over 1600m, 6 len behind Chur Nibble carrying 53kg at $17. The start before that 4th of 9 at Gawler 3yo+ F&M Mdn-Sw on November 6 over 1500m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Casino Showgirl with 54kg at $14. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond her reach.
