GOING: S(6)

Mackie Memorial Maiden Plate 1850m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.35)  

Miss Trombari has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RED FLAG (8) has been switched from Sydney by the Maher yard. Showed enough in town two back on debut to suggest he's up to this and he's likely to enjoy the step up in trip. MOUSSAKA (2) brings threatening from form Adelaide and had excuses at Balaklava over a mile. Drops back a level and this is a suitable assignment. RANSOM ROYALE (7) was a long way back but worked home fairly to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths over 1800m at Horsham. Peaks now and Meech will give him every chance from an insider gate. MISS TROMBARI (10) led keenly and punctured up over longer here 11 days ago. Expect a more measured ride controlling this today and she rates to give a big sight. AURELIO (6) has the blinkers on for the first time and can show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Red Flag.
