GOING: G

Sportsbet BlackBook Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with Eco Express leading from She's Elusive and Olivia Rose. ALGORITHMIC (5) resumes. He ran well at his only run last time in here in a strong maiden as a $2.50 chance having been tested in some strong 2yo races the campaign prior. He's drawn wide here which is the knock for this stable but if he runs to his best he'll go close. MISSION OF JOY (16) might be the danger at odds that maps better. She ran a good race on debut at Mornington despite being beaten as favourite but should be much better for that effort and is suited going to 1200m now. ALIANO (1) ran well fresh at Pakenham when making solid late ground for third. He can land in a good spot out to a better trip and go close. OLIVIA ROSE (14) keeps racing well and has to be considered again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Algorithmic & Mission Of Joy.
