GOING: S(6)

Montmorency Probus Maiden Plate 1212m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m 400m - 1600m, Out 5m Remainder. (Pent: 6.18)  

Small field in which Mongolian City can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. STONEAGE ROMEO (5) resumes from a spell of 14 months but connections could not have hoped to have found a better kick-off option. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs and opened last prep with a second over 1200m at Pakenham, which was a much stronger race than this. SILVER LIGHTNING (4) is yet to break through in six runs, but has come through significantly more challenging assignments than this. MONGOLIAN CITY (2) did little in the debut prep but has changed camps since and trialled nicely, so warrants another chance in this much easier contest. SUPER DIRTY (10) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in 10th over 1100m at Ballarat last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Bendigo the run before. This doesn't look as hard so she is set to turn things around. ANALYTICAL (1) is on debut for a stable known for turning horses around and while better over further, he gets his chance to play a role in a race of limited depth. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stoneage Romeo to win.
