GOING: G

R&C Asphalt Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Anticipating a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. Looks a good opportunity for AHHA AHHA (7) to break the ice. Close-up despite seventh at Flemington two back then fourth at Sale last time. Very well placed here in this line-up and will go close. YES I BELIEVE (6) has raced twice to date for two fifth, both beaten a few lengths. The blinkers are added for this and can improve sharply. TEMPUS TYCOON (10) made her debut here over 1000m and was solid into fourth after doing some work in the leading division. Better for the experience. NIC THE CASH (4) has been thereabouts but gets the shades today. Can do much better. SILENT FOX (2) was runner-up two back then was below par last time. Better than that and worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Ahha Ahha.

Colt by Invader facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on March 24 at Cranbourne when finished fourth. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Second-up. First start failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 at Moonee Valley Mdn-Sw on November 1 over 1200m, 7 len behind Spione carrying 58kg at $4.

Strips fitter and expected to figure prominently.
