GOING: G

Nutrien Ag Solutions Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.61)  

Super Lad and Cosmo Diva possess good early speed. SUPER LAD (7) has improved with each run under his belt this campaign. Gets in well at the weights again with his regular rider sticking claiming 2kgs. Sets up perfectly. MURPH (6) was much better her last start when closing off nicely into the placings. Should be nearing his peak now and looks the main danger. BELLE FROM HELL (10) wasn't beaten far on debut when battling on soundly into fourth. Has a wide draw to overcome but has a key booking in Neindorf. Deserves a lot more market support this time. I AM RALPH (3) returns and is a likely improver. Readied with a solid trial here and is worth considering, especially if the late money shows interest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Super Lad the one to beat.

Gelding by Pierata facing the starter for the first time. Trialled on March 4 at Morphettville Parks over 1000m and finished fifth. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to favour others barring market push.
