GOING: F

PILBARA TOYOTA MAIDEN 1200m

Track: FAST     Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ricco D'oro. BLATANT DISARRAY (5) has settled too far back in her last couple of starts at Geraldton and will be hoping to race a lot handier in this from a good draw. This field is not strong, and she is capable of a top 3 finish with a clean beginning. MATSOKA (3) has some ability and will be resuming from a spell for a new trainer. He benefits from a 4kg claim, and any market support is worth following in. RICCO D'ORO (2) is resuming from a spell of over a year. He has had a recent trial and may need the run. The market will be your best guide, and in a very modest field, he can't be totally ruled out. BRAZILIAN BELLE (6) has run the odd decent race in the bush. She resumes from a spell and will be a lot stronger this time in work. Include in all combinations. OSCAR WINNER (4) is down in grade third up, and makes his debut from a new yard. Let the market guide you in this race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blatant Disarray to win.
