GOING: G

Country Living Homes Mdn 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True.  

Little in the way of speed here. HINCHPIN (10) makes debut for the in form McEvoy yard. Hasn't trialled but profiles well and obviously needs the ground. Watch market but keep very safe. DELUXE DESIGN (9) wasn't too far away in Lusted grade last time so facing a huge class drop here. Expected to improve sharply. MONETISE (11) ran an improved race at second start and can do better again here. Rates to be in the finish. OURKHANI (6) was solid on debut and has upside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hinchpin is worth watching on debut.
