GOING: G

Marina Hotel Port Lincoln Maiden Plate 1350m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

In the absence of noted leaders, Falling Sun and It's A Solid Deel may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. Thin maiden to kick us off but NOUVEAU MARCHE (5) looks the most likely of a weak bunch. Battled on soundly into fourth when resuming here 11 days ago. Better for that and has a lot more to offer. Now or never for the gelding. HARLEM GODFATHER (3) hasn't threatened the winner for some time but has ratings that measure up for this. Will likely drift back from the draw and be doing his best work late. AQUAFOX (1) left himself with far too much to do when resuming here but was solid late. Will appreciate the added trip but is likely to get a long way back again. Watch for him late. IT'S A SOLID DEEL (4) and EL EXPLOSIVO (2) look best of the rest, but that's not saying much. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nouveau Marche gets the nod.
