GOING: S

Gawler South Bakery Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 950m-450m. Out 2.5m 450m-W/Post. Out 2m W/Post-1600m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.85).  

Solid tempo with Lucy Joie possessing the dash to work to the lead. NIKOLSKY (13) only warmed to his task late on debut at Morphettville when closing off nicely into a midfield finish. Improvement to come and is drawn much kinder. Worth following up. MAHI MAHI (12) has come along nicely in her last two starts. Should be nearing her peak now and takes benefit from Holder sticking. Among the key chances. TOTEMO HAYAI (10) was a lot better last start when just missing the frame at Penola. Comes right into calculations after a few key scratchings. RUSCHEYNE (7) was below his best when resuming here a fortnight ago but should improve with that run under his belt. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Nikolsky to win.
