GOING: S(5)

Salters Hire Maiden 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

The Trine and Novalargo can pave the way. THE TRINE (2) resumes with the top hoop aboard. Showed plenty in his two race starts and led and just missed at Hobart on debut. Has trialled well and he's sure to have come on. CELTIC ROSE (4) has been in the placings at four of her seven starts and returns from a spell. Readied for this with two winning trials and the blinkers go on. Draws in and is a leading contender. LA ZAMPA (1) raced on the speed resuming last start beaten 1.75 lengths on the synthetic. Likely improver with strong prospects. NOVALARGO (5) raced favourite on the synthetic on debut but found a couple better. Has the ability and must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with The Trine.
