GOING: G(4)

Vale Frank Reynolds Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

Strong pace from Maestro's Echo kicking up with Angling For Info close by. Competitive. BLACKHILL BOY (2) placed in two Flemington jumpouts before racing favourite when beaten 1.4L at Seymour on debut. He has an awkward barrier to contend with, but keeps Rawiller and the longer sprint is sure to suit. PONTE ARCOBALENO (4) resumed much improved when narrowly beaten on the synthetic. Maps well and he's attractively weighted with a 3kg claimer engaged. A top hope if he brings the form to the turf. YOUARENOTALONE (7) missed 1L here and then raced too keenly when well supported at Warrnambool (vet cleared). A wide barrier cruels, but he'd be a hope at best. ZIGGY PLAYS GUITAR (8) has been racing on the synthetic with plenty of market support. Fitter again and keep safe on the turf. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Blackhill Boy
