GOING: G(4)

TAB PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.16)  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. SHIKI (3) fast Too Darn Hot filly who gripped on late at her debut when a gritty winner of the G3 Gimcrack Stakes over 1000m at this track, 11 weeks ago. Has looked dynamic in her two trial wins since, and should prove too sharp for these as she heads to The Magic Millions. WARWOVEN (2) Sword Of State colt from Needle And Thread on debut for the Baker stable. Ran time in his only trial win over 796m at Warwick Farm. Respect. NORMAN'S CAY (6) Too Darn Hot filly from the stakes-winner Westport on debut for the O'Shea & Charlton yard. Showed speed in both trials and the lugging-bit goes on. Capable of taking a hand in the finish. HARDANGER (4) Pinatubo filly from outstanding producer Gloriette on debut for the Michael Freedman stable. Canterbury. Showed fight in her only trial when third over 900m at Canterbury. Well drawn and this stable must always be respected. SPICE TRAIL (7) I Am Invincible filly from the Lees' yard who impressed in her only trial win over 800m at Gosford. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shiki can continue where she left off last preparation.
