GOING: S(5)

KUBPower Maiden Plate 1050m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Gartmorn's Girl to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. KUMARU (3) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Travis Doudle. By Valentia from Bleu Jeune. Trialling in good style and looks forward enough. Can make a bright start. BEWITCHING MISSY (11) is a Magnus filly also stepping out on debut. Has come along nicely in readiness, scoring her most recent jumpout. No shock to see her featuring. ARIZONA WILDFIRE (2) tired quickly when resuming in town after leading them up. Drops back 200m and gets a key switch with Pannell taking over. Taking seriously. DARLINC (15) finds the maiden win elusive but looks to have come back in good order, fitter for a neat Strathalbyn trial. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kumaru to win.
