GOING: S

Harvey Norman Moe Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. SUN SETTING (11) looks the one to beat on resumption. She just found one better in both starts in her maiden campaign, behind some smart types on each occasion at Mornington. Finds the right race now with added improvement to come. HABENARIA (9) is a filly by top sire I Am Invincible on debut for the Freedman yard. Have to respect her coming here with early market support. YEAH RIGHT (12) wasn't bad on debut in a stronger maiden at Pakenham and has plenty of scope to improve. MAFEE (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sun Setting to win.
