GOING: G(4)

bet365 Top Finishes 3YO Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.48)  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. CARIBBEAN VILLA (1) is back from a four-month spell. The best of three runs in the maiden campaign was a very close second over this trip at Tatura at his second appearance. Poses a threat if he found that form a run earlier this time in work. PLATINO (6) crosses the SA border to make his debut. D'Argento gelding who was an impressive trial winner at Oakbank recently. Respect any positive market moves. COOL BEE BEE (2) can improve on a modest effort at Warracknabeal when resuming, his first run under new trainer Paul Preusker. EL FENOMENO (3) gelding by Neorealism out of Tulla Touch having first start. Has had four hit-outs leading into this, the latest when fourth in a Flemington jump-out. Can make an immediate impact. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caribbean Villa to break through.
