GOING: G(4)

Naubro Kerb Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

Genuine tempo with The Better Husband and Tikken leading the way. Hayes-trained VOUCHERS (10) placed in a Flemington jumpout and then impressed after an awkward start, beaten 1.4L at Wangaratta. Has the outside barrier but McDougall stays aboard and he navigates well around here. Fitter and ready to win. THE BETTER HUSBAND (9) resumes and wasn't beaten far at Pakenham on debut. That stacks up and he's jumped out well at Cranbourne. He will be naturally improved and a bold return is likely. SWING YOUR MAGIC (3) impressed at his first two race starts and third-up this preparation, he should be ready to show more. He didn't have the best of it last time, and Egan stays aboard. TIKKEN (4) resumed at Cranbourne and was a run short. The longer sprint suits and he's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vouchers appeals most.
