GOING: G

Carlton Draught Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 2m 700m - 300m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.60)  

Little early speed on offer so Fiorente Rules should be prominent. PIERRE LE QUILL (4) was okay last time at Donald when drawing very wide and getting too far back, finishing fifth. The run prior at Echuca was a cracker when charging into second and while 1600m is a query, he's racing as if it will suit. STOLE HIM (5) is a gelding by Alpine Eagle on debut for the Warren yard. His recent jumpouts have been solid and this looks a nice race for him from a good draw. FIORENTE RULES (6) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh over 1500m at Mornington, not beaten all that far. She can improve off that and be competitive here. WEST FORTY SEVENTH (3) hasn't fired in two runs to date but this will be much easier than last time at Ballarat. STYLE GUIDE (7) was awful last time but the fresh run was okay, she could sneak a placing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pierre Le Quill to win.
