GOING: H(8)

Sportsbet Maiden Plate 1565m

Track: HEAVY   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m 1800m-1600m. Out 4m Remainder.  

Slick tempo assured from Holpin and Neave leading the charge. YIASOU (6) progressed nicely second-up when just missing by 0.5L here. Strips fitter third-up and the added trip suites. Ready to get the job done. THE LAST FLASH (11) has been thereabouts in her two runs back. Nearing peak now and is well-placed to play a major role. Main danger. SWITCH HIT (5) disappointed as favourite last start at Halidon. Has been kept on the fresh side with 24 days between runs and a return to form will have him right in the finish. Will just need some luck from the ugly draw. HIGHLAND BEAUTY (10) finds the maiden win elusive but has shown glimpses of ability. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yiasou to win.
