GOING: G(4)

WALLY CROSS AND JACK BRENNAN Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +1m 800m-300m, True Remainder .  

Lipstick Lies, Maeve and Denuto can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. DENUTO (4) was a touch disappointing last time out but the two runs to commence the career were full of merit. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be going very close to breaking the maiden status. MAEVE (10) has placed at her past three outings and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Gets some weight relief and looms as the main danger. LIPSTICK LIES (9) has hit the top-five at her past four starts and will be at peak fitness for this. Top-three credentials. BETTER BELIEVE IT (8) resumes here and can run a race while fresh. EMBEZZLED HEART (2) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Denuto to get the maiden out of the way.
