GOING: G

REQ Refrigeration & Airconditioning Maiden Plate 1350m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Lady Of Savoy leading the way. LADY OF SAVOY (8) is a leader who brings three heavily-bet placings. She is on a 7-day return and has placed her only try over this longer sprint. Fit and tipping that she will run it out. LIGHT MY WAY (13) debuts for the sharp Stokes yard, and the filly has jumped out three times in Victoria. She will be well prepared, and Neindorf's booking is a push. The betting will be key. THE LAST FLASH (11) resumes and has placed fresh. She has pieces of form to warrant keeping onside. MATINO (4) has an inside gate and 3kg claim and is a likely improver at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Lady Of Savoy.
