GEORGE & MATILDA EYECARE Maiden Plate 900m

Track: HEAVY 9     Rail: True.  

Anticipate Floral Legend, Sweet 'N' Elite and Heez De Man to set a strong tempo. FLORAL LEGEND (4) produced a good effort last start when third over 1000m at Dalby to make it four minor placings from eight runs this preparation. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. SILVERTURN (7) remains a maiden after seven runs. Was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish sixth over 950m at Cairns. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. HEEZ DE MAN (1) returns from a spell of seven months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Mornington over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Floral Legend to crack the win.

Resuming after a seven months break. Not seen since he finished last of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw August 11 over 1400m, 12 len behind Sierra Dee Jay with 59.5kg at $18. On debut sixth of 8 at Mornington Mdn-Sw May 12 over 1200m, 8 len behind Olive Baguette carrying 59.5kg at $4.80. Look for a bold run.
