GOING: G(4)

Total Animal Supplies Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

A strong gallop is likely with Nimbustwothousand and Wealthy taking up the running, closely attended by Equal Power and Tuscaloosa Gem. Good race with a host of these nearing a maiden win. TUSCALOOSA GEM (12) was well fancied on debut and doubt will be a maiden long. Drew wide and raced on speed on debut and went down fighting, beaten a neck. Has since jumped out well and draws a nice gate here. Go close. NIMBUSTWOTHOUSAND (3) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1200m at Moonee Valley but placed only others two tries. Has trialled well leading into this. Leading player. BANYAN JENNI (5) wound up strongly at second start to finish a close-up third over 1008m at Sale. Will be tough to hold out. WEALTHY (14) debuted three weeks ago when she finished fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. With the blinkers added she is one to watch at the second run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Tuscaloosa Gem.
