GOING: S

Ladbrokes Form Genius Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.70)  

Golden Vader is the likely leader at a strong tempo. SILK SONIC (8) showed ability on debut when narrowly at Bendigo before being tipped out for a spell. She has returned with two solid jump-outs to sharpen him up. Suggest she can get the job done fresh. AUXILIARY (1) is a five-year-old son of Deep Field from the Greg Eurell stable on debut. Has shown promising signs at the jump-outs to suggest he can make an immediate impact. GOLDEN VADER (6) wasn’t without merit on debut at Cranbourne when finishing fourth at big odds. Strips fitter and looks a knockout chance. TILL QUEEN (13) is a Kingman debutant filly for A & S Freedman who has also caught the eye in her lead-up work. Any market support should be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silk Sonic goes on top.
