GOING: G(4)

Prestige Jayco Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.65)  

Moderate tempo with Sweet Farnan leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ABOVE ME (7) has been finding the line strongly, the latest coming from well back into fifth over 1000m. Extra trip is a plus and will be doing her best work late. SWEET FARNAN (12) resumed with a fast finishing second then struck a heavy track last time and was well off her best. Has ability and gets a chance to atone. BIALIATSKI (1) was safely held before a spell but did run well when last resuming, finishing runner-up. Fitter for two trials and expected to feature. BRUTIFY (9) hasn't been far away and strips fitter for two runs in. Tricky gate but has the ability. BRAZEN FLING (8) is overdue having placed at all three this time in, the latest making good ground to run third. Another bold showing is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Above Me.
