Doomben   18 Mar 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

GALLOPERS SPORTS CLUB Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +11m Entire.  

Solid tempo with Under Arrest possessing enough dash to find the front. UNDER ARREST (7) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough for a race of this calibre. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. WOODROW (8) brings NSW formlines to the table and should find this assignment a touch easier than what he faced down south. Looms as the main danger. RECONCILIATE (11) placed around this circuit last time out and again gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. Top-three aspirations. SAINT ALDWYN (5) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome at the latest effort but go on the solid second at Canterbury when resuming. Can bounce right back. BOMB PERIGNON (10) best of the rest from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,8,11,5.
