GOING: G(4)

RACEZONE NATIONAL APPRENTICE RACE SERIES Maiden Plate 2060m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 10m Entire. (Pent: 5.85).  

Sistine Chapel should be able to comfortably find the front. Waller-trained HATASU (11) likely had excuses here two weeks ago and better to measure on the solid placing at the track prior. Has a handy 3kg claim and gives every indication she's looking for the middle distance. She will be hard to beat. ACES UP (4) was in the money at Ipswich and then found more like his best when beaten 1.3L at Beaudesert over a mile. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and is ready for the longer trip. Rates a strong chance with average luck from the awkward gate. YARRA PRINCESS (9) missed a whisker at Grafton over 1700m and then raced a short-priced favourite there and settled too far back. She can sit closer today and get some of the money. JUNGLE JET (6) is a likely improver in good hands. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Hatasu.
