GOING: S

DiGiorgio Family Wines Maiden Plate 1075m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Emteed Glass is expected to lead at a slick tempo. HUBRISTIC (10) makes her stable debut off the break. Showed positive signs in two runs over the border, starting favourite before the break when third at Seymour. Draws to get every chance and has the right profile to fire fresh. Expecting a forward run. BARBADOS NINJA (9) makes her stable debut for John Macmillan after narrowly missing at Canberra on debut last campaign. Trialled well at Strathalbyn and looks ready to launch with a bold fresh run. IRLANDAIS (3) also return. Not sure what his best trip is, so expect him to improve off whatever he does. THE SECRET BLEND (7) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hubristic on top.
