GOING: G(4)

WAGGA RSL CLUB SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hold This leading the way. TRIUMVIRATE (8) was an eye catcher in a hot maiden at Albury when resuming off a long break, then was tough on speed at Geelong. Peaking now and gets the key booking of Berry from a favourable draw. Ready to win. ETON (1) returns a gelding for the sharp Waterhouse and Bott team. He's jumped out sharply since being cut and has a smart hoop in King to help offset the tricky draw. Sure to be very competitive. LADY COWAN (12) is an I Am Invincible filly on debut for Matty Dale. Improved noticeably at her second trial and keeps Boudvillain from an inside draw. Has to be included. MAKHACHEV (15) has only been sound in his first two for the new stable but did show improvement last time at Gundagai. He’s open to further and the form around him is strong. Not forgetting. FIRE CHAT (2) carries a fitness edge and gets a key switch to Schiller. Not overlooking on the quick back up. DOLCE VITA (11) was only fair first up at Wyong but comes from a sharp stable and is a likely improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Triumvirate to win.
