GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Hub Maiden 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 23)   True  

Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp trip. Tricky. ESPUR (8) has been knocking on the door and has trialled nicely since her last race 33 days ago. Newitt is reunited and the on-pacer is suited. ASTRO TED (1) debuts and impressed in the recent Longford trial. Carr is booked and will give him every chance from an inside barrier. WICKHAM LIGHT (7) debuts and also trialled well on the same day. Profiles well and should give a sight. BANKROLLBENNY (3) will use the rail and was only beaten 1.2L here 30 days ago. Always puts in and deserves to break through. SUGGESTED PLAY: Espur on what we've seen.

At debut, ran last of 14 at this track Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1200m, 16 len behind Mandate with 55kg at $16. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Three-year-old gelding (King Cugat - Intergalactic) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Last trial fourth at Longford in a 800m trial on March 19. Hard to have in this line up.
