GOING: S(6)

ALBANY ALLSOILS LANDSCAPE SUPPLIES MAIDEN 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. SWEET EYES (9) has been tested in stronger company this campaign and has held her own when right in the market. She didn't hit her best form until she got to this trip last campaign and coming back to Country level looks a smart play. This shapes ideally for her and she can score her maiden win today. ETERNAL ROMANCE (10) dipped a touch last start on the Scarpside at Pinjarra but the fresh run suggested she was up to her best. Remains at the mile now third-up and she draws much better this time. Back in grade and can pounce. ARAFISIO (7) has had a few goes now and steps up to the mile again today. She's been running on well and the rise in trip may be what she's looking for. BULLS EYE PERFECT (1) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory and can be in the finish again. CROMBIE (2) steps right up in trip now but won't be far away on recent performances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sweet Eyes goes on top.
