GOING: S

Moe Cup Save the Date 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

A strong tempo is assured with Excelaot and Confine leading the charge. CAPTAIN CAT (3) resumes. He's been around the mark in three career runs to date, finishing second on resumption last time in. Finds a winnable race here and should take some beating. CONFINE (9) resumes and isn't without claims having put in a couple of runs that measure up here. In with a chance. ISLA UMI (10) is off a very long spell but has ability, not far away in a far better maiden at Bendigo on debut behind Group class horses. Wary. SHINTARO SAMURAI (7) is a gelding by Real Steel on debut who can run a good race first time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Cat on top.
