GOING: G

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.61)  

Cielao has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SHALHAVMUSIK (13) was much better last start when chasing gamely into a narrow third at Strathalbyn. Drawn sticky again but strips fitter third-up and will appreciate the added trip. Bonus with Neindorf taking the steer. JANDAMI (3) bounced back sharply at the latest when rattling home into the frame at Mt Gambier. Open to further improvement fourth-up but is likely to get a long way back again. Watch for him late. ALL TOO TRUE (6) has been much better in his last two over the border. Drops back in trip and is right in the mix if he holds his form. TOSEN STORM (5) holds genuine claims on the quick back-up. Nearing peak now and can play a major role. CIELAO (11) has been freshened after a plain debut. Has kept the legs ticking over with a trial in between. Interesting to see her out in trip off short break. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shalhavmusik gets the nod.
