GOING: S

Carlton Draught Maiden Plate 900m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Not much early pressure but Ryzhykova, Drumlargen and Excelaot can take up forward spots. OIE DE TOULOUSE (4) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Darryl Dodson yard. Ran fourth in a trial over 1000m at Bordertown and finds a weak maiden. Booking of Crowther adds confidence. Can make a bright start. TAAJWAR (7) has been in the money at his last couple of runs but struggling to break through, the latest effort a third at Wangaratta. Interesting to see him dropping so sharply in trip off a 47-day freshen but is drawn to get all the favours. Have to take seriously. IMACREEDYTWO (3) has mixed his form this campaign but has peaks that measure up. Has found the maiden win elusive but strikes a thin race and can get the job done. ASHEN GLOW (5) returns and looks to have come back in good order on the back of two handy hitouts. Blinkers go on. Market watch advised. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Oie De Toulouse.
