GOING:

WSB 777 STRIKE MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)    

Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. KA CHOW (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 1000m. Was very green and sure to be better for the experience. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. THUNDER STAR (5) is facing the starter for the first time. By Querari and is out of the Tienie Prinsloo stable. Bold showing expected. RED HOT GUY (9) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Robbie Hill. By Fire Away from Fashion Talk. Watch the market closely. TOMMY GREANEY (10) finished midfield on debut here at the trip and can only be better for it.
