GOING: S(5)

Brooklyn Park Cellars Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.55)  

Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp journey. SCANDALIST (13) was denied narrowly of resuming a maiden winner at Murray Bridge three back. Has been thereabouts in her next two when well supported. Gets the blinkers on first time and is drawn favourably again. Ready. ALL TOO MYSTI (9) beat home Scandalist on debut. Wasn't as effective last time at Gawler but should be peaking now. Holder on adds confidence. Main danger. RIGHT OF VETO (12) is a Barbados filly on debut for the Hardacre camp. Found the line nicely when placing in recent Strathalbyn trial. Drawn sticky but is expected to make her presence felt in this line-up. SOMEWHERE SOON (14) also debuts and deserves some thought. Will pay to see what the late money does with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Scandalist.

Four-year-old mare (Divine Prophet - Nervous Nellie) will no doubt benefit from the six trials prior to her debut today. Sixth at Strathalbyn in a 1000m trial on September 27. Gets a handy claim but would still prefer to look elsewhere.
