GOING: S(7)

Holdfast Insurance Brokers Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1700m-1500m Including Chutes, +2m 800m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 7.00)  

Indiamo to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. PERILOUS LASS (12) disappointed last start at Murray Bridge where she went under as the $4.20 favouite. Nothing was found post-race and she was placed on Soft going first-up. Back in trip now may hold the key and a return to her best form - which we saw fresh - will see her hard to hold out. NADEGE (11) is another who comes off a poor run as favourite last time out, beaten a long way at Balaklava. The form out if her past couple has been strong however and she can bounce back with the blinkers on first time. INDIAMO (4) switches from the Ryan & Alexiou stable in NSW to the Searle & Callanan stable and looks well placed in his SA debut. May need some luck from out wide, but brings in some strong formlines and if he's up to that level, he can be going close. COPPER BULLET (1) gets the blinkers on first time for his resumption and is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Perilous Lass to win.
