GOING: S(6)

Hertz Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.89)  

Skjaldmo will stride forward but there are few debutants who can keep her busy. ANGEL EYES (1) debuts for the Hayes yard and owns two jumpout wins at Flemington. Appears to have plenty of ability and a bold run is anticipated. EYES OF BLUE (3) debuts for Moody-Coleman and has also jumped out well. Nolen sticks from the last two and will give the speed-bred filly every chance from the inside barrier. LIGHT FILLED (8) debuts from an inside gate and brings an easy trial win from Donald. Keeps Bates and also deserves consideration. Scratchings have changed the complexion of the race somewhat. Suspect ROMANTIC MISS (10) shapes as a main beneficiary. Resumed with a fourth at Warrnambool and will be fitter for the run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Angel Eyes.
