GOING: H

Maxi Tankers Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 7.57).  

Grand Stardom looks the likely leader. CIRCA (1) resumed with a solid run on wet ground at Casterton, no match for the winner but doing well to hold second. Fitter now and will get through the conditions well. Strong hope. LA ZAMPA (5) made good improvement second up at Ballarat when sticking on well for third. He should be fitter again now and will take catching up in trip. MUMMSIE (14) was sound on debut at Mt Gambier but couldn't back it up at Naracoorte. Was in the market there and may be an improver. HADAR (3) was good fresh and looks a solid winning hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Circa on top.
