GOING: G(4)

IRTMaiden Plate 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Sacre Bleu or Chainsaw can roll them along. PRIVATEER (17) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner when only nabbed late. The addition of blinkers might prove the missing ingredient and a peak performance could be on the cards. FARNANHEIT (3) finished second, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1100m at Stony Creek. He'll be better for that and looks more suitable venue for his racing style. TAG TIME (8) is a big watch, if for no other reason than Lane going aboard. He has a good record with Scott Cameron and Tag Time was good enough on debut to suggest he could measure up here from the good gate. RUMBLE TOWN (6) took advantage of the good draw and led for much of the way last start before being run down late, which followed a good run here. SABERTOOTH (7) is the first-starter who could bob up after rounding out preparations with a 1000m trial win at Cranbourne. SUGGESTED PLAY: Privateer to win.
