GOING: G

C+M Build Group Maiden Plate 2007m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11)  

Spellmaster and Miss Himalaya to stride forward and take up the running. SPELLMASTER (6) stepped up to this trip at Cranbourne and held on to place after leading them up. Peaks now and the rails barrier will advantage. John Allen is reunited and he will go close. HOLLY'S STAR (7) also presents fourth up and rates well off the near miss at Kyneton over 1875m. She's feared. JUST LIKE HANK (4) has a handy 3kg claim and improvement is anticipated over the longer trip. MAYEKI (8) made good improvement at Wangaratta and can build on that at a price. LYTTELTON (5) is also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Spellmaster.
