GOING: S

C+M Build Group Maiden Plate 1430m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 6m 1700m - 800m. Out 7m Remainder.  

From wide out Tycoonette can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. TYCOONETTE (13) looks ideally placed. She's a Written Tycoon filly who debuted at Sandown Lakeside last campaign when third behind the smart Et Tu Brute, starting hard in the market and beaten two lengths. Finds the right race here and will take plenty of beating. HIGHLANDS (6) is knocking on the door with three minor placings this time in, putting in the best effort of his career last start at Bendigo when second. He maps for every chance with D Lane on from the inside draw and should go close. HALF YOURS (5) resumes. He was good on debut when second at Camperdown over 1600m. May have improved and can figure. MAHSAY (11) resumes. She showed some ability in her maiden campaign and can run well here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Tycoonette.
