GOING: G(4)

BALTER 2YO MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Always plenty of early pressure in races like this with a large representation of first starters lining up. HOUDINI (3) has been close up in both trial outings and stable can fire them up fresh. Look for a positive debut showing. JOLLY GOOD FELLOW (4) has been professional in both trials and gets early cover from a soft debut draw. Plenty to like. PELOSA (13) showed sharp improvement in a recent trial win. In a tough debut assignment should measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Houdini win.
