GOING: G(4)

Magic Millions National Yearling Sale Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Stylish Prince leading the way. ALPINE COWGIRL (6) is off a letup for this and back in trip but has been consistent in four runs to date, placing in three. The effort two back here over 1600m rated well and if she's freshened up nicely she'll be hard to hold out. MOMETZ (3) had done some solid things in his maiden campaign before resuming with another encouraging effort here when beaten under a length over 1200m, albeit in a field of four. Fitter for that and the rise in trip suits. STYLISH PRINCE (4) ran a good race on debut at Kilmore, struggling badly as a $1.50 favourite at Kyneton when dropping out. Back in trip may prove beneficial and loath to write him off after one bad run. MADAM GRISELDA (9) can mix her form but the run two back at Pakenham gives her claims. ZAMPARINI SPIRIT (5) was solid fresh at Geelong and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alpine Cowgirl on top.

On debut fourth of 9 at Bendigo F&M Mdn-Sw November 13 over 1300m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Sounds Fun carrying 56.5kg at $11. Could be an improver.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 9 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1600m, 8 len behind Dark Simba carrying 57.5kg at $6. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw on April 24 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind All Business carrying 55kg at $16. Certainly worth another chance.
