GOING: G

bet365 Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.06)  

Moderate tempo with Karasmatic leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. Taking a lot of these on faith. KARASMATIC (5) was well fancied in a richer race on debut late last year and finished midfield. Given time but lines up on the back of two jump-out wins and a trial win most recently. Looks primed for a big return. OUR WISHBONE (6) made debut last year as well and then switched yards and had a good break. Another fitter for three hit-outs and expected to have come on. DON'T TELL HARRY (3) is related to a host of winners and is well educated with four hit-outs. Watch for any market moves. BIG CHEV (1) looked okay in a recent Bendigo jump-out and should be respected on debut. RIVAZZA (12) is a likely improver after a modest effort when resuming. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Karasmatic.
