GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES ODDS SURGE Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. HEROIC DELANEYS (8) has been improving in each of her 3 starts to date. She is nicely placed over 1400m and can get the job done this time. CONCADOR (2) battled away fairly well for sixth over 2000m at Toowoomba 13 days ago and will be rock-hard fit for the drop back to 1400m. He cops a wide gate but can run into the top 4 placings. Watch for him late. PRINCE OF SYNERGY (3) ran a much better race for second here nearly 3 weeks ago, when beaten by a nose. He has a superior gate this time and can go one better. EXODINI (6) did not do much on debut at Ballina a fortnight ago, but he has the pole position this time and can finish a lot closer. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Heroic Delaneys can take this out.
