GOING: H(9)

SUPERIOR TURF SOLUTIONS MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Bellarata and Angel City will likely pair off in front. BELLARATA (4) was gunned down from the front last start over 1200m at Goulburn but she'll have a strong fitness base for this. Getting up to 1400m may allow her to dictate a little more from a good draw today and she'll be hard to run down from the front. MOUNTAIN QUEEN (7) has trialled well coming into this and holds obvious claims in the small field with the key jockey booking. ANGEL CITY (5) resumes and rounds out the trifecta. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing the leader Bellarata.
