GOING: G(4)

BRUCE WILSON F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace only with Mishpat leading Dirty Dani. DIRTY DANI (4) was a big improver in her second start when sent forward at Wellington, only getting collared late. Strips fitter third-up and can get off the mark this time. HILLBILLY HIPPIE (5) put two fair efforts together in her debut prep, only missing by a head on debut. Readied with just the one trial and is sure to make her presence felt. EVIL LOVER (2) finds the maiden win elusive but it certainly hasn't been without trying placing on seven occasions. Trialled well at Grafton in readiness and is in the mix. OLE LADY (8) is another that returns and looks to have come on well during the break, assessing her recent trial here. Will pay to see what the late money thinks. OUR ASTUTE LASS (9) is a Shalaa filly on debut for the Singleton yard that has come along nicely in her two trials. Worth keeping safe from the inside pillar. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dirty Dani gets the nod.
