#YOUCANBETONUS! MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: AW      

Strong tempo with American Matador and Global Drumbeat leading the way over Prince Antonio. ALEX MILLER (7) is having her first run for the Cliffie Miller stable. She has been disappointing in her last three starts. She showed some promise earlier in her career. She tries the polytrack and if suited to the surface, she should give the males a decent run for their money. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT (2) is having his peak run and will be cherry-ripe. Has each-way claims. AMERICAN MATADOR (1) has been reported to be coughing in his last two starts on the turf. He finished second over 1600m on this course, three runs ago. If putting his best foot forward, he should be involved at the finish. PRINCE ANTONIO (4) returns from a spell and is having his first run from a new stable. Finished sixth at Fairview over 1200m when first-up last prep. Has place prospects.
