GOING: G(4)

MICK PAVLINOVICH MEMORIAL MAIDEN 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Miss Courageous and King Of France can be prominent. KING OF FRANCE (1) is better than he showed last start when gunned down over 1400m at this track. Back in trip looks a good move and Faithfull now hops in the saddle which is a big push for his chances. Can roll across, take up the running and will be very hard to run down. RIPPER RUPERT (12) was good in his only start in Maiden company at Northam two back before being outclassed again in Open 3YO grade last time out. That was a strong race however and despite being 70-1 there, he looks well placed back in this grade. Should get his chance to land the knockout blow. VAIN UNIVERSE (7) finished 1.7L off the winner last start and we'll get a good read on that form in the opening race of the day here. Needs some luck from the draw, but she carries no weight and has to be included. AMIRA GIRL (9) was 25-1 first-up and flew home here. Looks a leading chance off that effort. ZED HOT EXPRESS (8) is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of France goes on top.
