GOING: S(5)

ELITE SAND & SOIL F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Look Here and Hammoon Heroine. HAMMOON HEROINE (1) resumes and has placed 4/4 in decent metro and provincial company. She can return further improved and looks tuned up following a Warwick Farm trial win. Maps well and kicking off over 1500m won't be an issue. Races forward and gets the nod. AIDA (3) will be fitter again and will find this more suitable than Rosehill last time. The extra metres will suit and she can get into the finish again. ALADDIN'S GIRL (4) was well in the betting over 1400m at Rosehill first-up but could not muster any sort of challenge. Showed plenty of promise in her first preparation and from an inside gate and fitter can't be ruled out. LOOK HERE (7) resumed at Warwick Farm and needed the outing. Went close at Wyong at his only second-up outing and gives every indication the 1500m will suit. Has the ability and has been freshened. Quick improvement is likely. NEFERUSOBEK (9) missed a nose here two back and was outgraded at Group level last time. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hammoon Heroine appeals most.
