GOING: H

Budget Car and Truck Hire 3YO Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. HAY STREET (14) was only fair when resuming in G3 company when beaten 3L in the Vain Stakes at Caulfield. Strips fitter for that and will find this a fair bit easier. Obvious top pick. CIRCUS CIRCUS (9) is a Pierro filly on debut for the Begg stable. Main man in Childs gets entrusted after piloting in her two jump-outs in readiness. Looks handy enough and can make a bright start. LET IT BEEL (16) resumes. Showed good promise during his maiden campaign, particularly when fourth at Sandown over 1300m. Readied for this with two trials. Suspect ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER (5) is the pick of the debutants. Trials have been encouraging enough. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hay Street to win.
