GOING: G(4)

Springvale RSL Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m, Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.34)  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Circus Circus a potential leader. CIRCUS CIRCUS (5) resumed with an even run first up at Pakenham over 1100m, holding her ground there midfield to be beaten two lengths. Suspect she'll be much better over more ground and she gets a bit of that now with natural improvement to come. LE NOTRE (9) resumed with a good run at Stony Creek, working home to be beaten under a length. She could look to be positive from out wide here and take running down. JEWEL OF HEAVEN (8) resumes having been thereabouts on debut in a handy Geelong maiden. She's been given plenty of time to mature and can be a sharp improver this time around. DAME FLORENCE (6) is a Zoustar filly for the Maher yard, respect any support. SUGGESTED PLAY: Circus Circus on top.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fourth of 7 at Moulamein Mdn-Sw December 13 over 1200m, 9 len behind Rockette Roulette carrying 57kg at $5.50. Previously first up; eighth of 10 at Bairnsdale 3yo Mdn-Sw July 21 over 1200m, soft track; 5 len behind Ortigian Girl carrying 54kg at $41. This race is tougher than what she was up against last time in and hard to imagine she'll play a role in this.
