GOING: G

XXXX Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Normie No Show, Tancredi and Petra's Girl can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. HENRY'S FAITH (7) has been trying to knock off his maiden for a while but he probably hasn't had too many better chances than this. There has been merit in both runs for the new stable. The dirt is an unknown for him but he draws well and gets the services of a jockey that rides the track better than most. Happy to be with him. TANCREDI (2) is proven on the dirt and while he was beaten a long way last time, his prior form is OK for this. PETRA'S GIRL (9) is getting closer to a win and can go close if she replicates her last start run. THE REAL PRINCE (3) and LES VOSGES (5) are place chances in a race that drops away pretty quickly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Henry's Faith to win.
