GOING: N

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting a slick tempo with Elusive Mata, La Pequenita and Princess Vritti leading the way. LA PEQUENITA (2) ran a good race when third over 1200m on this course last start. She set the pace and stayed on well at the business end. She meets the right field and should be hard to beat. KAMARIA (6) set the pace over 1900m here last time out but found one too good on the day. Jumping from the inside gate can go one place better. VINTAGE CRYSTAL (4) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished 3.5 lengths back in third on turf over 1400m at this track most recently. In form and is well in the mix again. SEASIDE TRIP (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at Fairview. Best figures measure up and has top-three claims.
