GOING: S(5)

Sale Water Specialists 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1423m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Despite the outside draw Command Order can take it up in what looks to be a low-pressure contest. COMMAND ORDER (2) resumes. He ran a good race on debut last time in when second at Bendigo before a sound effort at Mornington over 1500m. Drawn wide here but finds a nice race and should go well. CAPTAIN CAT (1) resumes. He was no match for a smart winner on debut at Geelong but held second, albeit beaten 5.5 lengths. This trip should suit well fresh. HERE COMES JOHNNIE (3) is a 4yo gelding by Pierro on debut for the Clinton McDonald yard. He's jumped out well enough to be a factor here. NAJLE (10) resumes. She showed promise last time in, getting over a bit more ground, but kicks off at a good trip and can run well. NEVER LET ME GO (11) is consistent and should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Command Order to win.
