GOING: G

Mernda Probus Group Maiden Plate 2000m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.50)  

Without on-pacers engaged it may turn into a sprint home. Lots of these making up numbers. DOPPIO (11) on the other hand looks very progressive and gets a chance to open her winning account. Fair debut then relished the extra ground to place over 1723m at Sale last time. Even better off now and should go close. CHESAPEAKE BABE (7) is overdue with placings at three of the last four. Ran on well to just miss the latest and can go one better. HEY BRO'UNGA (2) is another overdue having been runner-up at three of the last four. Returned from a spell with a fast finishing second and won't have to improve much to feature again. HE JUST GOES (13) has been mixing form but rates well on best. This suits and off a much better draw can turn it around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doppio gets her chance.
