GOING: G(4)

SOMERSET REGIONAL COUNCIL Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Muchacho may lead the way over Hannah's Astar. MUCHACHO (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-five in all four starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest here. Just ran into one better at Dalby last time out and Thompson sticks in the saddle following that last-start placing. Rates the testing material. TWILIGHT STEPS (4) has placed three from three around this circuit and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Nicely placed to play a major role. HAPPY COFFEE (12) has placed one from one over this track and trip and will find this easier than recent outings. In the mix. THE IMMORTALS (3) didn't measure up in town at the latest effort but go on the placing over this course and distance two back. Can bounce back. RUBOS (2) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Muchacho to break the maiden status.
