GOING: G(4)

IGNITE HR & EMPLOYMENT LAW 2&3YO MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of first starters. PERFECT FORCE (6) was heavily backed into even-money favouritism on debut last start but after looking to have every chance found St Faith's with race experience on its side a bit too good. Expecting that form to stand up. Just needs luck from the tricky draw to go one better today. TIGLETTA (7) is back after an 11-week lay-off. Raced just once last prep when beaten half a length after leading for home over this distance at Wyong. Yet to miss the frame in four appearances and should extend that run here. SCINTILLATION (9) is a first starter by I Am Invincible. The dam Minhaaj hit the ground running as a two-year-old, winning a Group 3 at just her second start. Trialling as though she will live up to her bloodlines. WOODROW (3) returns from a 24-week break. Went okay in the maiden campaign, both runs coming on wet tracks. Can improve now following a gelding operation. THORSTEN (2) trialled well at Rosehill recently and is in the mix on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Force to win but this is a deep maiden.
