Sportsbet Jockey Watch Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: +3m W/Post-400m, True Remainder.  

Looks a keen contest with Sir Aali and Rhinestone Rory pressing for the lead with Hasta La Wizard and Me Name's Boris close at hand. TERMINAL SHOCK (10) was a sharp improver second-up when beaten a long neck at Gawler. Steps quickly to the mile, draws well again and has further improvement in store. Leading player. HEAT OF THE NIGHT (7) was much better here last time when finishing third. Kept on the fresh side with a drop back to the mile and can give this a big shake. RHINESTONE RORY (4) continues to find the maiden win elusive but has been finishing around the mark of late. Performed above market expectation at Donald when showing good tactical speed and sticking on gamely into fourth. Backs up quickly and has the pace to offset the wide alley. Deserves more respect this time. ME NAME’S BORIS (3) failed to make an impact last time at Gawler but was solid two back when sticking on into fourth. Still learning and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Terminal Shock.
