GOING: S(6)

Border Inn Hotel Moama Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.70)  

No noted pacemaker engaged, so expect an moderate pace. CASTELLI IN ARIA (5) jumped out well before placing second behind a dominant winner at Bairnsdale on debut. She draws inside and is sure to have come on. The longer sprint looks ideal for her. COULDTHISBETHEONE (14) debuts for the smart Laurie yard and has had six jumpouts dating back to February. He won the latest at Caulfield and a bold effort is likely, drawn to advantage. GOLD MEDALLIST (6) debuts for Moody-Coleman and will be well prepared. Keep an eye on the raceday betting with her, and with REISNER (10), who resumes for the Archibalds. Her recent Flemington jumpout was good, and she missed a nose at Terang when last seen. VADAR (4) draws wide but showed enough in town on debut to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Castelli In Aria should get all the favours.
