GOING: H(8)

bet365 New Racing App Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 7.05)  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. NEOTROPICAL (12) finds an ideal race second up, having run well as favourite first up at Mornington, sticking on for third. This looks fairly thin and she maps for every chance against the older horses. Go close, especially with dangers scratching this morning. DIAMOND MILA (2) ran well enough fresh at Moe and is open to improvement off that having gotten through the heavy ground. Expect he comes on and figures in the finish. PENINSULA ROSE (9) should peak now and can give a sight up on speed from a low draw while INABLISS (5) ran well at big odds fresh at Pakenham on heavy and is a chance if she can go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Neotropical to win.
