GOING: S(6)

Fore Design + Flex Planning Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +12m from 900m to WP, +12m from WP to 1800m, +9 metres Remainder. (Pent: 6.56)  

Expecting Katrina's Legacy to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. LATIBULATE (8) is a Royal Symphony gelding on debut for the Hardacre camp. Has come along nicely in his lead-up work and draws well for Pannell. Expecting a bright start. KATRINA'S LEGACY (7) gave a bold sight on debut at Balaklava but just lacked a fitness edge late and came up short. Is sure to have come on from that and will prove tougher to stop this time. SCOOTATHEWOOTA (9) returns. Found some hot maidens in his debut prep and held his own. Readied with a trial and looks one of the main hopes. ET TU KIRKLISTON (4) has been thereabouts in his first two starts and should be nearing a peak effort, though he will need a smart steer from the wide alley. PATANJALI (12) kicked of the prep with an encouraging third off a long break but is yet to go on with it. Keeping safe for a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to the debutant Latibulate.
