GOING: S(5)

IPD Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True Entire Course..  

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. LIVEWIRE LASS (9) resumes and has switched from a top Sydney barn. She has the blinkers applied for the first time and wins this easily at Best. Owns a trial win at the track and looks ready to go. URIS (5) improved again, beaten a whisker at Mareeba. Has the rail and is a quinella chance. MARCH MADNESS (4) was outgraded in a rich Quality last time, but his form generally would have him in the money. Wiggins is reunited, and that helps. MAGIC TYLA (8) just missed at Mackay two-back, and that effort would see her in the frame. BOMBINATE (3) maps well and has upside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Livewire Lass.
