GOING: G

Ray White Pakenham & Officer Maiden Plate 2500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Mwamba has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. CHATEAU DANCER (6) is knocking on the door and looks to have found an ideal race here. She stepped up to 2200m two back at Sale and improved noticeably to finish third, which saw her sent out $1.50 at Moe, just getting back in a small field with the tempo against. She ran very well there and sets up beautifully here from the low gate with more tempo engaged. PHOENICIAN (3) has had plenty of chances but is racing well, placing in his past four starts. He was 2.5 lengths behind Chateau Dancer at Moe but maps for every chance here. DIGGERS AIM (1) hasn't really fired in two runs back from a spell but gets over a staying trip now which should spark improvement. ST DOMINIC (4) stepped up to this track and trip last start and ran a strong race for second. He has to be respected off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chateau Dancer to win.
