GOING: G

Browns Sawdust & Shavings 3YO Maiden Plate (Chute) 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Mamuno to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. DONEGAL BAY (2) resumes with attractive form lines. He raced three times in his maiden campaign, not far off some handy types in a couple of those runs. He's won a trial leading in and the Begg yard have to be respected here. OROVERO (6) ran a much better race last start at Mornington when beaten under a length over this trip. Has solid claims off that. I SAID SO (4) was big odds but ran quite well on debut over this route. Will be shorter this time around and has claims. WARRIOR WITHIN (7) could be an improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Donegal Bay to win.
