GOING: G(4)

WIN CORPORATION CG&E MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace only with Karmardo leading Valedictorian. VALEDICTORIAN (8) tackled blue blood company in the Autumn and resumes at a longer trip. Recent trial winner drawn ideally. KARMARDO (2) was placed at this track on debut and found winning form in most recent trial. Big presence as one of the favourites. SIGMA (6) folded up late on debut after burning early gas from a wide draw. Finds a rails draw to jump and run with and in an easier contest now.  ALDEZOR (1) gets some weight relief but has mixed form to date. Back to provincial level can bounce back. KING OF THE RING (3) looked sharper in his most recent trial and race experience more help than hinder. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sigma each-way. Box quinella 8,2,6.
