GOING: G

Farmers Leap Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m 800m to 600m, True Remainder.  

Solid tempo anticipated with First Feeling taking charge. JEWELS CAPTAIN (4) lost a plate in running last time at Gawler when dropping right out. He looked to be building nicely prior and has jumped out well in between runs. Well placed to finally shed the tag. BEL HOTESSE (7) has been knocking on the door for quite some time but just lacks the winning blow. Gets in well with the claim and doesn't need to improve much to get the job done. MARINER MISS (10) strikes a much more suitable assignment as she comes across the border. Draws well and Milnes' booking signals intent. Watch for sharp improvement. DRUMLARGEN (2) exceeded market expectation at Camperdown when missing by a head. Has more to offer third-up and should give another bold sight. LOTS OF TORQUE (9) third-up is also a likely improver. Can find a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jewels Captain to win.
