GOING: S(5)

Bet365 Position Payout Maiden Plate Highweight 2156m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m - WP, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.43)  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Star Of Stirling or Stolen Stock can roll them along. Hard to go past STAR OF STIRLING (3). Lightly raced staying type who has placed in three of four starts. Gelded since a break and fitter for two trials, winning the latest over a mile. Will be ready to win and in this company should go close. STOLEN STOCK (4) was placed two back then back and wide throughout and never featured in the latest. This is easier and worth another try. INSTINCTIVE SPIRIT (6) is fitter for two runs back finishing fourth at each. Further improved and races on pace. Will give a sight in the small field. PARAMOUNT WAR (5) raced on speed and fought on well for a minor placing last time over 1950m. Small field suits and will be in this for a long way. SHOWFAIR (7) is a lot better than last time and is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Star Of Stirling.

On debut eighth of 11 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw August 14 over 1600m, soft track; 7 len behind Vincentina carrying 59.5kg at $71. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Progressive type gelded since a break and should go close here fresh after a strong trial win.
