GOING: S(7)

Vale Ian Dickinson Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. MAHERSHALA (3) resumes having hit the line well on debut at Pakenham before a spell when in the market there, getting into third. He should be an improver this time around and gets every hope with Zahra on from a good draw. BRIGHT STAR (10) resumes. Her debut at Pakenham was solid when sent out a $3.40 chance, finding a hot maiden behind Guest House too much before a break. She should be an improver this time around for the top yard. FAST FREDDIE (9) is a colt by Snitzel out of a good mare Spanish Reef on debut for the Freedman yard who has looked handy, winning a recent jumpout. Keep safe for top yard. SUMMONED LOU (5) made nice improvement second up and has each-way claims. EENY MEENY (1) is a gelding by Exceedance on debut who has jumped out well and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mahershala on top.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Not seen since she finished last of 10 at Cranbourne 2yo Hcp December 27 over 1000m, 7 len behind Guest House carrying 54.5kg at $13. On debut fifth of 7 at Pakenham 2yo Hcp December 13 over 1000m, soft track; 3 len behind Milsons Point with 57kg at $3.40. Much better placed here and should take beating.
