GOING: G

Ferrello Developments Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Expecting Harry Caviar to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ROYAL INFANTRY (4) wasn't far from the winner at first run from a good spell. Fitter and expected to be in the finish. ELEGANT MAN (1) has very similar form finishing fifth two back then fourth last time. Has a nice gate and should enjoy a good run. SUPAMANO (5) ran a much improved race second-up art Caulfield Heath and will find this easier. Has placed third-up and looks a serious threat. TROJAN KING (6) was well in commission on debut and ran well for third. Sticky gate today but has good upside and no surprise to see him in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Infantry worth following up.
