GOING: H(9)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: HEAVY 9     Rail: True.  

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. Looks a great opportunity for the two-year-old TEMPT THE GODS (12) to break his maiden against the older horses. He wasn't beaten far first-up and he'll have taken natural improvement from the run. He's drawn well and maintained fitness with a trial between runs. He can give ATC Derby winner Levendi his first win as a sire. LOCH FYNE LADY (5) has been off the scene for almost 18 months but her recent trial indicated that she's going well enough to run a cheeky race first-up. PRANCE 'N' BOW (10) is an each-way chance on her best form, while CANYON WIND (2) showed decent improvement between runs last start. The stable is flying and he can be competitive here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Tempt The Gods to win.
