GOING: G(4)

Schneider Electric Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.7).  

Obligated and Fairybower Flyer to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. BIGCAT (2) is an ex-Victorian maiden who has been placed in 3 of his 8 starts and should find things easier in this area. He is nearly 9 weeks between starts and looked sharp when winning a recent trial by a nose. Ryan Wiggins takes the ride which is a strong lead and he should be hard to beat. OBLIGATED (9) is a promising type who is resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good and with the benefit of a good draw, he should figure in the finish. A market watch is advised. ALFAVITA (1) has changed stables since his last start at Albury in July. He is hard to get a line on without a public trial but the early markets say he must be working well at home. Watch closely. ANDIRON (5) ran her best race fresh-up last prep and does have some ability. This field is not strong and she is worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Cat to win.
