GOING: S(5)

BECOME A BRC MEMBER Maiden Plate 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +11m Entire.  

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. Open race to kick us off. EMPHATIQUE (8) has been well in the betting in all three runs this preparation and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Placed around this circuit two back and where there's smoke there's fire. Should give backers a sight up on speed. SILENT ANSWER (10) is a former SA galloper having her first run for the new stable but showed ability when last in work. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and can run a big race while fresh. INDAMOUSE (3) has been just behind the placegetters at the past couple of outings and will be at peak fitness for this. Respect the Vandyke/Maloney combination. KONIGSTEIN (4) brings NSW formlines to the table and should be kept very safe. ST ANDREWS (7) next in line with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Emphatique to shed the maiden tag.
