GOING: G(4)

Colmac Homes Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 37)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.41)  

Expect a strong tempo with Always Shining pressing on from an outside draw, with Pacific Reel nearby. LOWESTOFT (11) eye-catching return over the shorter trip when a slashing third over 1203m at Kyneton. Gets in light with Pozman's 2kg claim and finds a very winnable race. Hard to stop. WRENLEE (8) raced a touch closer from the better draw when a plugging third over 1106m at this track in the soft (6) conditions. A repeat effort keeps him in the calculations. HEIRONAUT (4) King's Legacy gelding from a Tavistock mare on debut for the Anthony & Sam Freedman yard. Latest jump out win had merit and the blinkers go on, keep safe. PACIFIC REEL (6) far from disgraced on debut when he pulled up lame to finish seventh last start over 1415m at this course. Kept safe in betting on that occasion and expect a better showing here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,8,4.
