GOING: G(4)

Fantasy Cocktails Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Discobay to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. VOLATILE (5) should go close if presented on song. Former Snowden trained galloper who has raced in much tougher races including stakes class. Fitter for two hit-outs for the new team and looks primed for a good return. LIGHTNING JOEY (1) raced just once in first campaign when fourth at Ballarat last winter. Given plenty of time but primed for this with three hit-outs. Can return with a big run. DIAMOND INDARUF (7) was runner-up fresh and looks to have returned in good order. Fitter again and among the chances. ELECTROMAGNETIC (4) warrants respect on debut after winning a Cranbourne trial in readiness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looks a nice race for Volatile.
