GOING: S(5)

XXXX MAIDEN 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 8m Entire; Cutaway Applies.  

Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with many of these lining up for the first time. VENTURO (1) gets the blinkers on again today third-up into the campaign after a solid effort at Bunbury last start, running on to be beaten 2.5L. The slight rise in trip should help and this is a much easier race than he went around in last start. Can get the job done if he runs up to his most recent effort. PIRATE'S ALLEY (2) jumped favourite at Pinjarra prior to the spell and was disappointing. He'll be fitter for two quiet trials coming back today and the booking of CJP suggests they mean business. May get back from the draw but with improvement likely, he's sure to go close. SAFARI BOY (4) hasn't been far away in tougher races his past couple, not being disgraced when 25-1 most recently. This looks a much better race for him and it wouldn't surprise to see him closer at the finish. IMPENDING FEATURE (12) is better than she's shown thus far and getting out in trip may hold the key. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Venturo gets the nod.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Maschino out of Saddle Me Up. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Belmont Park June 10. Not helped by a wide barrier but still a top-three prospect.
