GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Make it Look Easy Maiden Plate 1210m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)    

Genuine tempo with Ivan leading the way. STAR VALOUR (5) made solid late inroads when resuming at Halidon two weeks ago. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt and will appreciate the rise in trip. Leading player. HARD LEAF (8) finds the maiden win elusive but has shown glimpses of ability. Came through a hot maiden two back at Balaklava to stick on gamely into the placings at the latest. Drops back in trip for what looks an easier test. AMBITIOUS CREEK (14) has been freshened with a 45-day break as he makes his stable debut for Garret Lynch. Went better then what the form reads last start at Newcastle when only beaten 2.7L in seventh. This is easier. HOT EGO (9) is a Preferment gelding on debut for Sarah Rutten. Takes benefit from a soft trial in readiness. Keep safe in a weak contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Star Valour.
