GOING:

#YOUCANBETONUS! MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 18)    

Plenty of pace with American Matador, Pyro Edition and Golden Grey all pushing forward from their low draws. EXALTED LOVE (15) should have finished closer to the winner over 1600m last time as he was switched for running room at the 100m mark. He gets the blinkers fitted today which should keep his mind on the task at hand. He jumps from pole position and may be the one to side with. GOLDEN GREY (5) was his own worst enemy last time as he over-raced in the early stages. Has each-way claims. AMERICAN MATADOR (2) finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. Resumes from a spell and if not in need of this run should be fighting out the finish. FIZZLY BUBBLY (6) was doing his best work late when second over 1300m on the Polytrack last week. If this run has not come too soon he should be finishing in the money.
