GOING: G

Latrobe City Council Maiden Plate 1430m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.05)  

Expecting Beach Couture to take up the running with One Way Ride and Titahi Bay close at hand. AYE VEE AITCH (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Moonee Valley, beaten 6 lengths. It's doubtful any of his rivals here could have got any closer, so he looks the testing material despite the wide draw. TITAHI BAY (10) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1206m at Benalla. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NEWS TRAVELS FAST (3) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Avoca over 1300m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. VIRE RIVER (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when tenth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1000m at Bairnsdale. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aye Vee Aitch to win.

Dual acceptor. Back from a long spell. Finished off last campaign 7th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1430m, 6 len behind Fancy Shoulder carrying 58kg at $13. First up last campaign 4th of 8 at Avoca Mdn-Sw on October 19 2024 over 1300m, slow going 3 len behind Ironbar carrying 59.5kg at $11. Fitter for a jump-out on October 6 at Cranbourne when finished sixth. Form poor but not a lot of depth here and might sneak his first placing from the good alley.

Two career placings have been in longer races than this but recent jumpout was good and could show up fresh.

Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Sale 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Ze Bee Nine with 59.5kg at $15. Better for the first-up outing and draws to get her chance.

Long-time maiden back from the NT but recent Moe jumpout second placing was not too bad.

Previously second-up got back early 8th of 12 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1100m, 8 len behind Scenic Point with 58kg at $21. Well beaten last start but that was in town - fitter and will find this much more to his liking.

The race before that raced on the pace before fading ran last of 12 at Moe Mdn-Sw on September 23 over 1628m, on a slow track; 28 len behind Trinity's D'oro with 57.5kg at $11. Draw helps, but still hard to see her fighting out the finish.

Yet to place in seven starts and got out to 2200m last prep, so likely to need this.

Last start made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Benalla Mdn-Sw on September 26 over 1206m, 2 len behind Hayatake carrying 55kg at $5. Shows promise. Ready to strike now third up from a favourable alley.
