GOING: H(10)

NUTRIEN AG MAIDEN PLATE 800m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 12)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. BILLABONG (11) returns from a short break and makes her stable debut for the Ruddy camp. Has good early toe and will prove tough to reel in if left along in front. HARRY (4) failed to threaten last time at Warren but was right there in his first two starts. Willing to forgive. MR CACCIATORE (5) is a first-starter by Harry Angel out of Mianu. Fitter for recent trials, winning the latest. Should be competitive with the blinkers going straight on. BLUE BIDDY (10) is a daughter of Bivouac out of Blue Money having her first start. Looks forward enough following a trial win with Zoe Hunt aboard. Can play a major role on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Billabong.
