GOING: G(4)

MM ELECTRICAL MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Solid tempo headed by Yakyak and Let Sparks Fly. UNLIKELY HERO (2) probably didn't handle the step out to the mile last start and drops back to a trip where he's placed 3/4. Should be nearing his top third-up into the campaign and a return to his best form would see him hard to beat. LET SPARKS FLY (9) will put up a good challenge though following a 2.9L defeat here as favourite a week ago. He led on that occasion and I suspect the stable will look to ride him with cover this time as per his previous events. Winkers go on now too and sharp improvement is expected. EDWARD'S CHOICE (1) has had a few goes now, but he turned in a solid effort over this course and distance three starts back. That rating stacks up nicely in this field and Cooper's 3kg claim comes in handy. His best would see him go close. YAKYAK (7) hasn't been far away of late and can put herself in contention once again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Unlikely Hero.
