#YOUCANBETONUS! MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Brooksider, Tibbott Bourke and Cliffie Clavin leading the charge. GRAND ALLEGRO (1) has finished second in his last two starts over 1200m on this course. He raced from a handy position last time and fought hard all the way to the line. He should be ideally suited to 1300m and can shed his maiden tag. GREEN OKRA (2) showed good improvement when finishing second of 11 over 1200m on this course last time when resuming from a spell. He raced from a handy position and stayed on well at the finish. He will strip a much fitter horse and looks hard to beat. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT (5) resumed from a spell last start and went a bold race at long odds to finish third of 11 over 1200m at this track when after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with each-way claims. BROOKSIDER (3) has placed in two of his last four starts but only finished fifth of six last time out over 1200m at this track. Races well at this track and looks well placed to return to form.
