GOING: S

Liam Howley Racing Maiden Plate 1590m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Late Harvest is expected to take up the running with Artspace and Blazing Brook close at hand. LONELY ROAD (6) has filled a place on the two occasions he has been to the races, both times at Geelong. Looks a promising type and won't be a maiden for too much longer. LATE HARVEST (5) made a good fist of things on debut when filling a place at Bendigo earlier in the month. Will be improved by the experience and is expected to go close. QUAFFTIDE (13) was off a break when featuring in the money first-up at Sale. Strips fitter this time and this looks a suitable contest. Should make a bold bid. EVERYTHINGISAUTUMN (12) got back before hitting the line strongly at Wagga last time. Showed she is on the right track with that run and must be respected here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Lonely Road and Late Harvest to win.
