GOING: G(3)

TONKIN GROUP SUPER MAIDEN SHOWCASE PLATE 1175m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Sargeant Stan to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MONTE VEEBEE (6) seven start maiden who finds his race today with the blinkers going on. Huge run first up when racing handy for a narrow second at Randwick Kensington in a Super Mdn over 1300m in fast time. Gets the gun run again and looks too good for these. DUBAI DARLING (12) improving filly who was snagged back from the wide gate when a tough fourth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Drawn out again and looks the main danger. SARGEANT STAN (7) just under a month between runs when a fading sixth over 1000m at this track on March 20. Blinkers come off and assess on earlier performances from the good gate. Value prospect. BARRELLING (4) resumes with the blinkers going on for the first time. Failed to make an impression on debut when sixth over 1000m at Morphettville last November. Fitted with two jump outs and from leading stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monte Veebee to salute.
