GOING: H(10)

VETS ON RIVERBANK MAIDEN 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

The race pace in this Maiden event over 1200m looks to be strong for the majority of the trip. TURN IT UP (7) resumes here after running well in all three of her starts so far. Easy trial winner late last month. The filly can win this. BOY (1) is also fresh up here. Twice placed in this state and has been course placed. Definite danger here. GOOD CRAIC (5) is in a very good run of form. Nine times placed and one of them came here. She is a chance here no matter the footing on offer. OUR AKASHINGA (8) ran a good third at debut. It was a sound effort. Trialling super three times prior. Wide draw. Chance still if run here. TOLSTOY (3) ran a good third fresh up. He has been placed second up and it came here. Cannot be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Turn It Up is the logical winner here. Boy is the biggest danger.
