GOING: H(9)

Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Maiden Plate 2435m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 4m 1800m - 500m, Out 7m Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with Knights Emperor leading the way. KNIGHTS EMPEROR (3) looks the one to beat. He's just found one better his past couple but was very good at Echuca last time despite being beaten as favourite, leading and only going down by a neck in a small field. He'll be very hard to run down over this trip. GAELIC KIWI (1) was fair at Ballarat Synthetic last time but had been coming along nicely on turf prior, the second over this route two back good enough to give this a strong shake. WINGS OF LOVE (9) really improved up to 2200m at Sale last start and it's probably worth ignoring most of her form over shorter trips prior. She's a big hope on latest. I'MNODRUMMERBOY (2) is racing consistently and shouldn't be far away, similar story SEA DANGER (4) off last start at Murtoa. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knights Emperor to win.
