GOING: G

STEARNES GLASS & WATER FILTERS MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD4     Rail: +2m entire.  

God's Wrath to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. GOLDEN OPERA (13) has switched stables to the Campbell McCallum barn since a disappointing first-up effort at Northam 50 days ago. She bolted in to win a recent trial here under Azzopardi who remains in the irons today. May need some luck from the draw, but can get the job done. DAINTY ROSE (9) was just plain first-up at Pinjarra last campaign with the jockey saying she didn't handle the soft conditions. Now with a new stable and lines up here without a trial. Can improve sharply getting back onto a firm deck. PANCHO'S PLACE (7) stuck on well here on debut and looks better suited getting out over further now. He'll be better for the debut performance and he showed good speed there on debut. Can feature in the finish once again. INKAANTOON (8) tired first-up but will be better for that effort. Draws well again and is not to be discounted. GOD'S WRATH (1) is fresh off a long break and is worth keeping an eye on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Golden Opera looks the one to beat.
