GOING: S(5)

MITAVITE Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.65)  

From the inside draw Arturetta has enough dash to hold the lead, joined by Sneaky Tay. Hard to see ARIK LAD (1) being beaten, building on the two lip defeats at the track. Has an inside gate and 2kg claim and is on a quick backup. HOLD MY HALO (11) was much better at Cairns and has more to give. Draws low and is the likely danger. KELLISA (8) needed the first up run after a stable switch and had come off stronger provincial races. His effort at Ipswich three back was good and she can't be ruled out. KAMMERZELL HOUSE (5) didn't handle the heavy track first up. Showed enough last time in to consider. SNEAKY TAY (12) is running out of chances but tries hard and won't be too far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Arik Lad.
