GOING: G

Browns Sawdust & Shavings Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Brazenly should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. Plenty of win chances. ZWASP (2) resumed from a long break with a solid fourth at Pakenham and will be much fitter for it. The blinkers go on and expected to feature. ICED CHOCOLATE (9) is an interesting runner long overdue for a win. Former Qld'er who put together a string of placings before a break and a stable switch. Has been jumping out well and the blinkers on for return. Huge watch. ECHELON (3) was sixth here fresh then fourth at Yarra Valley last time. Tricky draw but another with the blinkers added and can measure up. ZOUTARA (10) has raced twice for two fourths, the latest when not the best away but burnt to the lead before fading late. Has the inside this time and with a clean break will give a sight. INSAIN HARRY (4) has shown ability in a few runs so far and will be working home strongly late. Watch the market with the two first starters. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Zwasp.
