GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Racing Form Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire .  

Strong tempo headed by Yarrawizardharry who can hold the lead from an inside draw, joined by Largs Legacy and Kikkuli. YARRAWIZARDHARRY (7) has progressed nicely this prep, turning in a good effort here last week when finishing third. Peaking now and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside. Should give this a mighty shake. KIKKULI (2) tackled city class latest when sixth at Morphettville Parks. Will find this easier and appreciate the added trip, though he will need a smart steer from the wide draw. MIKKI TANGO (3) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, over this journey at Strathalbyn. Peak fitness now and should be blending into the race nicely from his draw. PETIT EAGLE (9) took a good step forward second-up when chasing gamely into second here. Will appreciate the rise to the mile and gets in well with the claim, though is likely to drift back and be saved for the final shot at them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yarrawizardharry to win.
