GOING: G

Sportsbet Same Race Multi Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute, +5.5m Remainder.  

Carpe Astra, Bardigrub and Cathay Express to match motors but there will be other pressure. CARPE ASTRA (8) was well supported on debut behind what looks a smart one in Tobikko, where she raced greenly in front and just tired late. Her work in readiness to her debut was top notch. Suggest we see a more polished effort this time. BARDIGRUB (7) had the better of Cape Astra when going down a head to Tobikko. Peaking now third-up and meets Carpe Astra better with the 3kg claimer engaged, so expect her to be very competitive. LOSEYATOETOE (11) missed the bob at long odds on debut at headquarters two weeks ago. Is sure to have come on from that and deserves more respect this time. CATHAY EXPRESS (9) stuck on soundly into third behind Loseyatoetoe, after showing good speed. Better for that and is in the mix. SIMPLY SID (4) will appreciate the hot tempo and be doing his best work late. Keep in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Carpe Astra to win.
