GOING: G

Ladbrokes Owners Bonus Maiden Plate 2400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Moderate pace with My Boy Jim rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. MURGASTY (8) is a three start maiden who looks close to a win following a strong second over 2200m at Seymour. Has upside and should appreciate the longer trip. Go close on latest run. TITANIUM PRINCE (9) is another building to a win and stepping out in journey. Placed over 2050m at Mornington last time and over the extra ground expected to improve even further. LUNAR POWERED (2) returns over the longer trip but has always shaped as though he'd need a couple of laps. Has shown ability and presents fitter for a trial and a jump-out. Can return with a big run. SNORE (6) was runner-up in a highweight two back then found one better again last time over 2550m at Pakenham. Blinkers go on after being wayward in the straight last time and may well take catching here. OBSTRUCTIONIST (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed sixth in the same race as Titanium Prince last time. Nicely placed to find some form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Murgasty.
