GOING: G

Happy 40th Birthday Leanne Maiden Plate 1207m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11)  

Loads of early speed from Deep Pleasure and She Flys. DEEP PLEASURE (10) was heavily bet beaten 1.3L on debut. She's sure to have come on and the rails gate advantages. The leading course striker rides for a top metro stable. MERCHANT OF GREECE (2) trialled sharply in NZ and then didn't have the best at Ballarat first when well supported. Maps for the run of the race and he's worth another chance. SHE FLYS (7) resumes and is also in good hands. Hasn't competed over shorter than 1400m but she has ability and expect her to be ready to go. GIGGENBACH (11) debuts and is a stablemate of the top selection. She will be well prepared and the late betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Deep Pleasure.
