SECURE YOUR WINTER CARNIVAL TICKETS NOW Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 5m 1000m-W/Post. Out 2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.51).  

Simple Way and Kata Kapi to battle for the lead at a cracking tempo over this sprint journey. SIMPLE WAY (2) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory hitting the top-four at his past five starts and strikes a very winnable contest here. Has placed around this circuit and drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Looks the one they all have to run down. WANDERLEI (5) has been thereabouts in recent outings and will be rock-hard fit for this. Respect with Wiggins in the stirrups. Former NSW galloper KATA KAPI (9) is having her first run in the area but will find this easier than what she faced down south and any market support must be noted. MY COUNTY (3) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Simple Way to break through.
