GOING: G

Trans Australian Livestock Maiden Plate 1430m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m 800m to 600m, True Remainder.  

Caithness to take charge ahead of Green Amber at a good tempo. RANSOM ROYALE (5) came with a bold finish from well back to miss narrowly in a blanket finish on debut. Has been kept fresh for this and is sure to have come on from that. Drawn well and looks a big threat. Stablemate HELLISH LEE (11) was much better last time at Mt Gambier when chasing gamely into fourth. Peak fitness now and doesn't need to improve much to take this out. ROCK'N ON UPTOWN (12) also showed improvement at the latest, not beaten far despite finishing out of the placings. Deserves more respect this time, though will likely get back from her draw. BROTHER QUICKIE (3) failed to make an impact when resuming at Warrnambool but that was a hot maiden. Better for the hitout and is drawn well. Don't dismiss. MILADY (9) returns and has been readied with two jumpouts. Worth keeping in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Ransom Royale.
