Pinker Pinker Tickets on Sale Now Friday 10 October Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.86)  

Just a modest tempo anticipated. EMPEROR TZU (13) wasn't far away two back then stepped up in trip and motored home last time when no match for Our Chief. Close to a win and gets his chance. WONDERING SPIRIT (7) showed ability last campaign placing 2/4 runs and returns on the back of two hit-outs. Looks primed for a strong return. JUST DANCE (5) improved out of sight over 1400m when fresh and looks even better off here. Has good upside and drawn for a soft run. Can feature at odds. LARRYOCTANE (6) made late ground from the back to finish midfield fresh over the mile at Moe. Will want further in time but fitter again and should be doing best work late again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Emperor Tzu is close to a win.
