GOING: G(4)

CAMPBELL'S WINE RUTHERGLEN MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Lots of speed predominantly from Leila Belle, Phenomenorm and Commanding Shadow. NOTAFONI (13) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Albury over 1000m. Handier draw will assist. Looks well placed here and has to be respected. BLUE CATTLE DOG (2) finds the maiden win elusive but does boast peaks that measure up well for this. Gets some weight off with the claim and is worth keeping in mind. COMMANDING SHADOW (3) returns. Has had plenty of cracks to try and shed the tag but strikes a thin contest here. Can fill a spot. WAYNE'S DREAM (8) has three placings from seven starts this campaign andcould sneak a place again with some luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Notafoni.
