GOING: G(4)

AVON VALLEY TOYOTA MAIDEN 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

An absence of early speed provides Le Beau with the opportunity to lead. VAIN UNIVERSE (6) resumes today with the Hong Kong apprentice in the saddle, claiming 4kg. Tsang was on board for the trial which he won coming into this and he maps to make his own luck up on the speed. Gets in light and will give his rivals something to chase. POINT OF CONFLICT (4) may find this a touch easier than some races she was in last campaign and has a few ratings sprinkled through her form that makes you surprised she's a maiden. Can find a handy position and put her best foot forward. MAZZETTI (5) was solid first-up at Belmont at big odds and will find this a touch easier. Laid the foundations for a promising campaign last start and can build on that performance now. TOKEN KING (3) trialled nicely in readiness for his debut and can play a role. LE BEAU (1) is better than he showed last start and can bounce back in what looks an easier race on paper. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Vain Universe.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation fifth of 10 at Narrogin Rtg 46+ March 30 over 1100m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Good Vibes carrying 54kg at $61. Previously first up; seventh of 9 at Bunbury Mdn December 22 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind De Grandhomme carrying 58kg at $101. This race is tougher than what he was up against last time in and hard to imagine he'll play a role in this.
