GOING: S

Paradoo Prime Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.6).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Chirography. THINKHARDANDFAST (11) has been runner-up in both of her starts to date and was only a short-head back from the winner at Donald last time out nearly 2 weeks ago. The step up to a mile is ideal and she should get the job done this time. O'CALDINO (4) is heading the right way and fought on well enough at Warrnambool last time out when finishing second, albeit over 4 lengths behind the impressive winner that day. He won't lack fitness and will continue to improve with racing. He is good enough to pick up his first win at short notice. KNUCKLE (3) ran a nice race for third at Donald last start and is stepping out to a mile for the first time. He benefits from a 1.5kg claim this time and that could make all the difference where it matters most. Each way. SOMAX (12) missed the jump last start and ended up settling too far back at Hamilton before running on late. He might have to go back again from a wide draw but the ability is there and he is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thinkhardandfast to win.
