GOING: G

Sportsbet Make it Look Easy Maiden Plate 1350m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Outdoor Cat has enough pace to take up the running from her wide draw in a low-pressure affair. SERINITE ILLUSION (5) went okay at Stakes level last preparation and will be better for the first-up effort at The Parks. He's been gelded since, and the in-form Holder goes aboard. Has the first-time blinkers applied, and anticipate a much sharper effort. AFFAIRE VUE (12) resumed here with a 1.3L defeat, and she's sure to build on that. She sat behind the leaders in that but has a wide gate today. A winning chance with average luck. SEA ROADS (4) went close at The Parks and was outgraded there following. Has Neindorf aboard and the first time blinkers on, and he will find this more to his liking. OUTDOOR CAT (14) draws out, but she's speedy. Found one that was much too good first-up but is a likely type. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Serinite Illusion.
