GOING: G

Ararat Rural City Council Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11)  

Just an even tempo anticipated. VILLANDRY (4) resumes having run sixth on debut in a strong Sale maiden when in the market. He's won a trial leading in and can run a much better race this time. KOBAYBI (6) resumes. She was good in her first two runs in her maiden campaign and should get a good run on speed here. TRUE TEST (2) wasn't far away on debut at Horsham and could improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Villandry to win.

First-starter by Sir Prancealot out of Drifting Ice. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. No trial form to work with so the market will provide the best guide.

First-starter by Grunt out of Holy Seal. Untrialled, so tough to assess real chances. Jumps from a favourable gate so could well play a big role.
