GOING: G(4)

Carlton Draught Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Chemehuevi should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. POWER OF MONEY (7) has raced only twice and resumed from a break with a midfield finish in a tougher maiden. Fitter and looks a leading player here with upside. CUDMORE STREET (2) hit the line hard over this journey second-up and looks ready to win now. Lightly raced six-year-old who has placed half of six career runs and doesn't need to improve much to get off the mark here. BIG DREAMER (15) was safely held fresh but fitter and extra trip a plus. Meets an easier maiden and can improve sharply. SONECHKA (14) is a four start maiden having first try at the trip. Last run got back to the tail and made late ground when fifth over 1200m at Pakenham Senior jockey Beau Mertens goes aboard and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Power Of Money can improve sharply.

At the latest run sat on the pace before fading second last of 8 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1500m, 10 len behind Understudy carrying 59.5kg at $81. The start before that 4th of 10 at Kyneton 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1212m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Soho Princess carrying 59.5kg at $61. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
