GOING: G

Les McGowan Maiden Plate 1203m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.71)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. QUEEN KATRINA (14) led them up and was nudged out at Ballarat on debut. She's in a top metro yard and will be suited around here. Fitter and can go one better. RYANMAN (6) resumes and ran a tidy race here on debut. He's jumped out at Flemington and maps for the run of the race. An improver to keep safe. SWIFT POWER (1) is heading in the right direction and will appreciate the longer sprint. He's not been having the best of it. MIDLIFE CRISIS (4) debuts and has three jumpouts under the belt. He's likely to go okay. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Queen Katrina.
