GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: 400m to WP True, +3m Remainder.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sengoki. GIN RUMMY (6) sets up perfectly to finally shed his maiden tag after some strong chasing efforts. Impressed last start in particular when holding his own against a much stronger field. Only needs to reproduce to be taking care of these. I RUN ON AIR (3) continues to knock on the door and should be hitting his straps now. Boasts solid form lines and draws to get the gun run. Main danger. UNTIL DAWN (9) was much better at his second start when battling on gamely into the placings at Balaklava. Rises quickly to the mile. In the mix. HARLEM GODFATHER (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gin Rummy will be hard to beat.
