GOING: G(4)

Bet365 Bet Boost Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Saraya has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TIKKEN (5) is fitter for three runs back and looks close to a win. Little below best last time but placed 2/2 this journey and best figures stack right up this level. ROYAL INFANTRY (9) resumed with a second at Avoca and that figure was just off his career best. Fitter again and expected to go close. CALUSA'S FURY (1) is a lightly raced galloper who actually raced in a maiden here last year and finished runner-up. Fitter for three runs since a long break and can go one better this time around. KISS'N DANCE (3) has obviously had issues and returns after a long break. Fitter for two trials and off the inside drawn for a soft run. SARAYA (8) raced on speed last time and was solid enough. Has the claim and will take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Tikken.

Having third race start. At very big odds at debut, 8th of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on October 3 over 1400m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Danzsin carrying 59.5kg at $101. Last start didn't do much in the run home; second last of 10 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on October 20 over 1600m, 7 len behind Snitz Sonic with 59.5kg at $101. Won't find this as tough so gets chance to break through.
