GOING: S(5)

ALBION PARK RSL SUB-BRANCH CG&E MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 9m 1100m-W/Post. Out 7m Remainder.  

Monty The Missile to take charge ahead of Jump In The Line at a solid tempo. PARADE GROUND (8) spotted them a big start last start around a tighter track before getting home hard. Up in trip looks set to atone. AKKADIAN EMPEROR (3) looks ready for a positive Aussie debut after two handy trial showings. Finds the right trip first up for a new stable. MONTY THE MISSILE (2) went down fighting on debut and should lead them up early. With added fitness and more ground is right in this. JUMP IN THE LINE (7) has been consistent of late without winning and snags the all-options draw. Rock hard fit with genuine claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Parade Ground win
