GOING: S

Melbourne Civil Group F&M Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.42).  

Abundant early pace from Jennizacinto and Miss New York ahead of Armed Conflict. THUNDER HAWK (12) has been about the mark in all runs to date, placing at her past two this time in despite going under as an odds-on favourite at Echuca. Back in trip now may not suit but she'll be hard to hold out. ILLUMINANCE (6) has placed at her past two, no match for a smart win over this track and trip last time out but doing well to hold second. Rates a key chance. SHYLEAH (11) hit the line nicely first up at Camperdown and will be fitter while MAGGIE ROSE (8) also strips fitter off an even return here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunder Hawk on top.
