GOING: H(8)

bet365 Never Ordinary Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Delicate Lady, Ilovediamonds and Show No Doubt to match motors but there will be other pressure. DELICATE LADY (8) resumes having placed in both runs in her maiden campaign in good races. The debut effort at Yarra Valley saw her sent out as $2.50 favourite in a Future Stars Series heat at Pakenham, only beaten 2.5 lengths by subsequent Listed winner Gala Queen. Should set up nicely here and looks hard to catch. SHUJINKO (3) resumes. He ran a good race on debut at Warrnambool over 1200m when just finding one better. With natural improvement and a nice gate here he can measure up well. ABOVE ME (6) is an expensive filly by Zoustar on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. Represents strong connections and has jumped out well enough. INSAIN HARRY (2) has had a few chances but continues to race well, placing in his past four. Should be competitive again. NEW CHARACTER (13) was well supported on debut at Ballarat Synthetic but struggled. Could be a quick improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delicate Lady to win.
