GOING: S(5)

Four'N Twenty Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.30)  

Absolute Power and The Secret to take up the running at a strong tempo. WISE INLAW (13) ran an encouraging race first up at Geelong in a stronger maiden than this, finding the line nicely for a narrow fourth. He was put into a much tougher affair at Caulfield Heath on debut last time in and finds the perfect race to break through now. CHAINSAW (4) was off a very long spell first up at Sale but ran a nice race for fourth having shown ability in early 2024. Can only improve off that and draws to effect. GEE AND TEE (7) ran a solid race on debut at Cranbourne when working home from midfield for third. May be wanting further now but should find this class to her liking. TORONESS (11) resumes. She mixed her form last time in but her best would be competitive. SWING YOUR MAGIC (5) resumes for his second campaign and could be an improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wise Inlaw to win.
