GOING: G(4)

INLAND PETROLEUM MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.80)  

Without frontrunners engaged Crismera gets the chance to lead. ERNIEGY (3) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Beaumont (Newcastle) over 1350m. Should be at his peak now and shapes as a leading chance in this company. STAR GAUNTLET (6) got well back over 1100m at Wellington last time and never threatened with a battling ninth over 1100m at Wellington. Finds an easier assignment and strips fitter third-up. CRISMERA (8) is having her first run for the Brett Robb stable. Last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago when ninth over 1500m at Yarra Valley. Can make her presence felt from the inside gate. CULGOA KATE (5) resumed with a battling eighth over 1100m at Mudgee. Fitter now and anticipating a better run with the claim. BRAVALATANTE (7) recent form sound. Raced on the speed and boxed on steadily when third over 1300m at Armidale. Has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Erniegy should prove too strong for these.
