GOING: G

Ladbrokes Owners Bonus Maiden Plate 1760m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 8m 1700m - 800m, Out 10m Remainder.  

Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. GLOBAL ECLIPSE (3) looks the one to beat. Two starts to date have netted two minor placings, both over 1600m at Sandown Hillside in stronger affairs. Tricky draw but can roll forward to the front and take a power of catching. THE RIGHT PAGE (10) ran a good race last time at Wangaratta, only beaten a neck. Should be suited rising in trip again and can take a more positive position from the inside gate. CURSE IT (1) ran well here on debut over 1400m, giving the indication this trip would suit. Maps well and should go close. REDALUCA GIRL (11) should be ready to peak now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Global Eclipse to win.
