GOING: G(4)

Jayco 3YO Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Wonderdownunder to lead Bellitsy at just a moderate tempo. Looks a great race for WONDERDOWNUNDER (5), who was a respectable 4th on debut then improved last time when 1.3 lengths away in third over 1400m at Sale. Those two outings look a great platform for this and he has always shaped as if 1600m would suit. FLYING KHAN (1) was never in contention last time over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside when he finished sixth, beaten 3 lengths, but this is a drop in grade and he'll be better for the run at this trip. BELLITSY (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1300m at Ararat. Quickly jumps in trip which suits, and the inside alley should assist. CELTIC VIVA (8) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at Sale when only a length off Wonderdownunder. LICENTIOUS (10) is the most experienced runner in the race and gets the blinkers, which could spark improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wonderdownunder to win.
