GOING: H

Star Printing Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.83)  

Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. LISA LASS (8) is locally trained and has placed 2/3 runs so far - both over this journey. Stepped back to 1200m here latest and ran fourth but back out in trip is worth another chance. DANZSIN (11) ran a nice race on debut then was tested in tougher last time and safely held off a wide gate. Back in class and a better draw should see a better result this time. SO LONG AGO (15) has been on speed and thereabouts at the last couple. Yet to hit the frame in 10 starts so far but lesser company here and can run a race at odds. HARMONY (12) is a three-year-old filly out of Group 1 winning dam Small Minds. Coming along well at the trials with a minor placing at her most recent at Colac. Has the pedigree so keep a close eye on any market push. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lisa Lass can atone.
