GOING: G

Roderick Insurance Brokers Maiden Plate 2200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Smokin' Rohie. CECCHETTI (7) is Stakes-placed and second-up was narrowly beaten in a Ballarat Maiden as favourite. He's been gelded since and should relish the extra 200m. Has plenty up his sleeve and should have this field covered. JUDGE JENNI (10) is ready to win and steps up from a mile. Gives every indication she'll handle it and is the threat. Tougher sorting the rest, but KAVAL (3) may be the best of them. He's fit and races forward and may show more over this distance. LONG HOT NIGHT (8) is third-up with the winkers on and can get closer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cecchetti to win.
