GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.61)  

Nothing to run them along so the pace looks even at best. PRICE TAG (5) resumes from a long spell. She's a well-bred filly who has always promised plenty but remains a maiden for now, with outstanding form lines including a second placing to My Gladiola. The 14 months off is a niggle but she's won a jumpout leading in and she might just be better than these. POSH DIAMANTE (4) resumes for her second campaign having shown ability in two runs last time in, narrowly beaten on debut at Pakenham. She'll be running on strongly late. SALARIA (6) ran well first up at Bendigo when hard in the market and has the advantage of a run under the belt. SPIRIT OF OMAHA (7) is a filly by Omaha Beach on debut for the Eurell yard who has jumped out well and can figure. TOROKAWA (9) was okay on debut and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Price Tag to win.
