GOING: G(4)

Koonara Wines Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo with Esquel and Frontal Attack leading the way. ESQUEL (11) gave backers a great sight on debut only to get nabbed on the line. Is sure to have come on with race experience and is drawn favourably again. Will take plenty of reeling in for her rivals. FRONTAL ATTACK (3) has been much better in his last two when taken forward and is knocking on the door. Carries a fitness edge and is expected to be in this for a long way. EMERALD REWARD (2) returns and looks to have come on nicely during his break off the back of a solid Naracoorte trial win. Blinkers stay on from trial. Can make a bright return. LOOK AT MEGO (12) was unwanted on debut at Warrnambool but should find this a fair bit easier. Draws well and could add some juice to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Esquel to win.
