DAILEY FAMILY FUNERALS/MINERVINI RACING MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE 900m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 800m-400m; True Remainder.  

Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with many of these facing the starter for the first time. ZOUBABY (11) showed plenty of potential in her first campaign and this is a much easier assignment. Trialling well of late and has the speed to jump and run from the get-go. OCEAN JOY (10) is on debut but has looked an early learner in two trials. From an all options draw can easily make a case for first up. HARLEX (7) finds a winnable debut race after some handy recent trial displays. With a kind draw and a well-used claim comes right into it. SIR TOM (2) has had more than enough chances to win one but is a proven first-up performer. Drawn wide but recent trial was solid. In the mix fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zoubaby win.
