GOING: G

Apiam Animal Services Mdn 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44).  

Decent-sized field but it lacks pace so only expecting a moderate tempo. WHEAL ROSE (13) is a three-year-old filly by Mawingo from Lake Sententia on debut today. Profiles strongly and leading rider aboard. Looks the one to beat. ELLMAKNIFICO (5) is a three-year-old gelding from the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace yard on debut today. Has the profile to be competitive. SUSSEX ROYAL (12) is a filly by Hallowed Crown out of Lost In Paradise set to debut for the Daniel Williams stable. Has the claim and blinkers on. Watch the market closely. WILD RHAPSODY (9) was among the placings last time when third at Donald and will be fitter second up. Each way chance. BOURBON STREET (10) is lightly raced and resumes with definite claims after a solid recent trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wheal Rose profiles well.

Latest start began awkwardly; ran last of 8 at Swan Hill 3yo+ Mdn on February 16 over 1600m, 11 len behind Slipintothis carrying 59.5kg at $51. The start before that raced below expectations; 7th of 9 at Horsham 3yo+ Mdn on December 20 over 2100m, 17 len behind Bellini Boy with 59.5kg at $6.50. Would need to improve lengths to feature here.
