GOING: G(4)

Global Turf 2YO Fillies Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. CAVILL AVENUE (6) debuts for a top metro stable with Jamie Melham a key jockey engagement. Is well bred and won a recent Flemington jumpout. Has a handy and a bold effort is on the cards. AUTUMN CHARM (3) prepared well and impressed missing by 1.3L at Geelong on debut. Has jumped out since and can feature with average luck in the run. VELOCITE BELLE (14) debuted as a 2.7F in the same contest and raced new beaten 2L from the pace. She also draws awkwardly but will have taken fitness and learning. FIRM'N'HIGH (9) is an improver and is also in good hands. Led them up and folded late on heavy ground at Terang last time and Nolen is a key jockey switch. She's sure to keep improving. BELLA BLAZE (4) has an outside barrier to manage but has been well-prepared for her debut. Profiles well and won a recent jumpout here on her home track. Has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cavill Avenue looks to have good talent.
