GOING: G

Hawker Earth Movers Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Foxy Gisella is expected to lead at a strong tempo. LOVE SO SWEET (4) finds the maiden win elusive but is knocking on the door. Has good early speed and should land in the perfect spot from her low draw. Doesn't need to improve much to finally break through. GINGERMAC (2) was narrowly denied from returning a winner at Broken Hill on March 28. Is sure to have come on from that and gets in well at the weights with Sit's 2kg claim. Can strike through this time. CONJOIN (1) returns from a long break and makes his stable debut for the McMahon camp. May need the hitout but does boast peaks that can measure up if presented on song. LIBERTY LONDON (3) also resumes from a significant break. Never really got going last campaign but is still relatively lightly raced and is open to improvement. Will pay to monitor what the late money thinks of her. SOCIAL DANCER (5) has peaks that can measure up and is worth keeping safe for a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Love So Sweet gets the nod.
