GOING:

Watertank Caf Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Sizzling pace from the outset from Jackset, Piccadilly Hero and Oneofthesenights locking horns ahead of All Frosted and Magic Defense. ONEOFTHESENIGHTS (9) did not fire when racing out of her rightful grade here 3 weeks ago and is much better placed in maiden company. She was runner-up here in her penultimate start after setting the pace and will try and take them all the way in this. Stick with her. BODMIN BOY (1) ran on very strongly for fourth last start and will appreciate the drop back into maiden class. He is getting fitter and should break through for an overdue maiden win at short notice. JACKSET (3) is resuming from a spell and has Jarrod Todd in the saddle which is normally a good lead around this circuit. The market will be a good guide to his chances and he is good enough to win a maiden race at least. MAGIC DEFENSE (8) has been placed in 5 of her 9 starts in Victoria and was fourth as favourite at Pakenham on the poly track there 5 weeks ago. That sort of form makes her hard to beat in this. Follow your money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magic Defense each way.

Last start didn't do much in the run home; second last of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on September 8 over 1400m, 14 len behind Becquerel with 59kg at $17. The run before that 7th of 9 at Katherine Mdn-Sw on August 17 over 1000m, 9 len behind Full Damage carrying 59kg at $15. Others make much more appeal.
