GOING: S(7)

HANECO MAIDEN PLATE 900m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 10m Entire.  

Bradken Blu and All Too Vegas to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. HOMECOMING (9) finds a gift draw on debut and has looked the real deal in recent trials. Can easily kickstart her career in winning style. BRADKEN BLU (1) backed up some handy trials with a top-three result on debut at this track and trip. Drawn wide but only has to jump well to be prominent from the outset. SNEAKY SOFIA (10) has displayed good ability in three starts and is a big watch in her return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Homecoming win.

Last start in a small field at Hawkesbury Cg&E Mdn-Sw on July 21 over 1100m, 4 len behind After Match with 59kg at $21. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Goulburn Mdn on July 5 over 1000m, in the wet; 8 len behind Are Ee Que with 57.5kg at $8. Solid prospects and a good barrier doesn’t hurt.

Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Three-year-old filly by leading sire Exceed And Excel out of Ventura. James Cummings has her ready for this with two recent trials leading in today's debut. Won her most recent trial at Warwick Farm over 740m on July 15. Drawn well and seems fit enough to figure in the finish.

Is first-up after a break of four months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation second of 14 at Wellington Well Boot April 14 over 1100m, a head behind Fingers Hunter carrying 54kg at $21. When resuming last campaign third of 9 at this track Mid 2yo Mdn April 3 over 900m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Rantan with 55.5kg at $26. Should be right in the mix.
