GOING: U

AAXXA GROUP MAIDEN 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +10m Entire.  

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. Whole host of these having first run for new yard. That includes LANTA (2) who is a former Victorian with one career run, when fifth at Bendigo. Now trained here and is well placed with the low draw and claim. Expected to measure up. BUON AMICI (4) is a former WA city-trained galloper returning from a good spell for a new yard. Has placed rates and best form stacks up. BLOOD BROTHER (6) is another former Victorian who was safely held at last time over much further but only other start was a good debut fourth. Well-suited here. DIRECT DEBIT (5) is another having first run for a new barn and has been freshened since running eighth at Pinjarra. Has shown ability and worth including. ROYAL GUARDIAN (9) resumes from a break. Wound up strongly only fresh-up run and worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Lanta fresh.
