GOING: S(5)

N & T Roberston Maiden Plate 1450m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.35)  

Genuine pace with Rhinestone Rory taking up the running ahead of Shay's Way and Rangatoo. SHAY'S WAY (11) led over this trip at Kyneton and it was a much-improved effort. Got too far back here following but managed to run into a a place. Has the inside gate and Meech aboard today so all systems go. Should be forward and in the firing line. Tipping she fires. IRON STUPA (5) resumed with a narrow defeat at Hobart. Had won a trial prior and has been kept on the fresh side. He won't have to improve much to feature and the same can be said for LIBBY ANN (9) who led and just missed over a mile at Great Western. That effort stacks up for this and going to be in the right spot in the run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Shay's Way to lead all the way.
