Swan Hill   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

The Federal Hotel Swan Hill Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 9)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good pace with Crackerjack Hatch, Wheat King and Daniel Boone prominent. EM SIXTY (5) is knocking on the door with three minor placings this time in, stepping up to 1500m at Ballarat when last seen, beaten half a length. Likely to get back from a wide draw but will be hard to hold out. KINGSFORD (6) has been in the market in two Australian runs to date, a little bit disappointing at Ballarat last time. He needs a race with strong tempo to finish off. ALPINE COWGIRL (11) was poor last time dropping back in trip but had been coming along well prior and stepping back up to a mile will suit. BLAZING SWORD (2) is going well an each way chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Em Sixty to win.
