GOING: G

Wollert Lifestyle Group Maiden Plate 1207m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Presocratics and Sudden Change will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. A host of winning prospects. BRUTALINA (7) showed good promise in opening campaign including a debut second at Ballarat. Fitter for two jump-outs leading into this and expected to go close. SUDDEN CHANGE (9) wasn't far away when fourth last time and this suits. Blinkers go on and looks tough to beat on best form. HOT ONE (8) placed two of four runs in first campaign and returns from a good break. Ran fifth in a trial then has since won a jump-out. Looks capable of a bold return. PRESOCRATICS (4) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1300m at Seymour. Placed in a recent trial. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix. LIGHTNING JOEY (3) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Sale over 1100m, beaten 3 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. SUGGESTED PLAY: Like the look of Brutalina fresh.
