GOING: G(4)

IMPERIAL RACING Maiden Plate 800m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 38)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.10)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes for a tricky map. It is reasonable to assume a solid tempo over this sprint course. SURPRISE HONEY (9) resumes for the premier metro barn owning a 5L trial win. Brings compelling city form and is sure to take beating. CHEEK TO CHEEK (8) just missed here on debut off a trial win. Fitter and can make the quinella with average luck in the run. LOOK IT'S LUCY (6) faded late here first-up and pulled up with an issue. She has more to give and the speedy galloper draws inside. ENUFF PILLS (3) is a former Victorian who didn't have much luck here well supported. She has been freshened and is likely to run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Surprise Honey.
