GOING: S

O'Connors Case IH 3YO Maiden Plate 1412m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.48)  

Expecting Vianarra to lead En Flique at just a moderate tempo. VIANARRA (4) brings a string of close-up placings to peak and has some gear changes. Dropping back 200m shouldn't be an issue, and he maps for a soft run. Finds the right race. EN FLIQUE (6) went close as favourite at Wangaratta, and the longer sprint suits. Fitter and she's capable of fighting out the finish. BLACK CHERRY (5) surprised the market, beaten 1.3L at Wangaratta over 1300m. She can build on that and has claims. PLEASE ME DO (7) is on the improve, and will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vianarra appeals most.
