GOING: G

Smick Health & Fitness Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Genuine pace headed by Inexessive who should kick up along the paint. AMANOAH (13) has hit the line hard to place at both runs this time in and looks close to a win. Genuine pressure here suits and expected to go close. LANE CHANGER (16) was fair on debut then relished the extra ground with a much improved run last time. Looks to have plenty of upside and the mile suits. Leading chance to break through. CHARM NOIR (17) was thereabouts fresh but fitter and extra trip ideal. Should be winding up strongly. DALI'S PICASSO (5) missed the frame two back when eighth at Sale but turned in a better effort last time to finish in the money over 1856m at Kyneton. Blinkers on and in the mix off the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Amanoah.

Has been far from disgraced in last two starts but others look to have her measure.
