DAHLSENS 2YO MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +2m 1100m-300m, True Remainder .  

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. Very strong Maiden with some well-bred colts on debut and resuming. VATICAN (5) was no match for the speedy Where's The Circus on debut with a plugging fifth over 1000m in the LR Inglis Nursery at Randwick last December 13. Improved further over the break with the two good trial placings and will relish this trip. FAWLTY AFFAIRS (2) surged late from back in the field on debut with a tenacious second over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Fitter now and desperate for this trip. LAFITE (3) Zoustar colt out of Summer Sham held in high regard by the Waller stable. On debut after the four trials and is a full brother to Group 1 winner Schwarz. Big market watch. SATOSHI (4) Wootton Bassett colt from My Sabeel on debut for the Price & Kent yard. Sharp trial winner over 736m at Randwick. Impeccably bred colt who will be closing strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vatican can get over the top of these.
