GOING:

TAB Maiden Plate 2000m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Tormanzor, Shark Park and Secret Fenkel to control the tempo. SECRET FENKEL (3) was in the money two back at Ipswich then just missed the frame last time out when a 2.25 lengths fourth there. Rates strongly against this line-up and can break through here. TORMANZOR (4) was sent out favourite last start but found one better over 2245m on turf at Grafton. First try on the synthetic today but expect he will bring the good form to this surface. HOPEFUL CAUSE (1) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1710m at Ipswich. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FIVE OF US (7) gets in well at the weights with the claim and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Secret Fenkel to break the maiden status.
