GOING: S(7)

KSL CONCRETING COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Predict The Future may lead the way over Miss Como. POLYMER (1) is a four-year-old gelding now in the Paul Snowden yard. Resumes after finishing a close-up fifth over 975m at Swan Hill last October. Fitted with the one 1007m trial placing. Expected to go close. HOME SIREN (11) Home Affairs filly from Rebel Assault on debut for the Cassandra Schmidt yard. Finished second in her only trial over 1000m at Taree. Top-three player. JUVIANCE (7) resumes and now in the Alicia Willick stable. Failed to get into the contest when fourth over 1100m at Sale last July. Fitted with the two trials and stays in the mix. MISS COMO (9) struggling to draw a decent gate. Covered a stack of ground in the run before fading to finish seventh over 1200m at this track. Fitter now and has minor claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Polymer can get the job done first-up for the new yard.
