GOING: G

Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m 950m-450m, +3m Remainder.  

Moderate tempo headed by I Run On Air from his low draw. CLASSY CLARET (6) put the writing on the wall last time out with an eye-catching third at this track over 1400m. He's being crying out for a genuine tempo and a touch further in trip. With similar conditions, he looms as a major player and should be storming home again late. I RUN ON AIR (1) disappointed last time at Strathalbyn but had been running consistently prior to that. He maps well from the inside and can improve with a more economical run. PRANCE 'N' BOW (12) showed good signs of life last start when closing off sharply into fourth. Added trip suits and Milnes sticking is a positive. THE LAST FLASH (10) could be close to a win following back-to-back placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Classy Claret.
