GOING: S(6)

DRINKWISE PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.41).  

Straand Beauty will go fast and lead. MANOS (6) is back after a 16-week break. Started favourite at both appearances in the maiden prep and wasn't beaten far, most recently at Newcastle when he led over 1300m but found one better. Trialling well and with McDonald aboard looks well placed for a successful return. MARAIS (7) made it six minor placings from as many starts when runner-up to Creek over 1250m at Newcastle recently. Has been $3.50 or shorter at every run so the SP profile is strong - just needs to find another length or so. STRAAND BEAUTY (8) ran a cheeky race first-up at Rosehill, leading for home then battling on when challenged to hold third. Should dictate and is a likely improver with that run under the belt. The only other hopes in the race appear to be a couple of the unraced brigade in FIRST MISSION (4) and ENGINE ROOM (3) who are trialling well - keep a close eye on the betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mass scratchings leave this open for Manos to break through.

Three-year-old colt (Snitzel - Thump) will no doubt benefit from the two trials prior to his debut today. Was second in a Rosehill trial over 1030m October 4. Would rather give him a miss unless there's a hefty move in the market.
