GOING: G

bet365 Top Tote Plus Maiden Plate 1215m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.18).  

Moderate pace only with The Cuban leading Exciting Times. ABSTRUSE (8) was nudged out at Benalla heavily bet and then the money came again here where she was beaten 1.5L. Peaks now and the longer sprint suits. Draws for a cosy run and she should be winning. TATSU (3) resumes and was beaten a nose at Wodonga before the spell. That stacks up and he will be naturally improved. He should go well. EXCITING TIMES (5) was better at Geelong and then spiked her figures again narrowly beaten here. She will be around the mark. EVERYTHINGISAUTUMN (9) resumes with a 4kg claimer aboard and is likely to return in better shape. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Abstruse.
