GOING: G(4)

ONLINE RAFFLES @ PORT CITY BOWLING CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. Lots of scratchings and first starters make for a tricky race. Of the five runners on debut for the Hull stable, DINGLE GREY (10), daughter of Red Henno from Cannery Row, goes on top. Ran second at recent trial and can make an immediate impact. Stablemate SASQUA (9) is a gelding by Pariah from Nayana on debut. Among the placings in a recent trial and should be primed for a big first raceday. REDZERO (12) filly by Red Henno from Strategic Spark on debut. Has also trialed well and is worth consideration. ELEGANT LUCY (17) and CHESS MASTER (1) both have race experience and get a great chance to improve here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,9,12.
