GOING: G(4)

Natimuk Fire Recovery Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.44)  

The trio Drumlargen, Cincincity and Foxiet will set a strong tempo. CINCINCITY (6) gave a sight and went close over 1350m two back then tested over 1454m last time and was well off her best. Back in trip and this suits. Has placed in 6/10 career starts and 3/4 this sharper trip. Worth another chance. DRUMLARGEN (1) is a speedy type who led and gave a sight last time over the border when runner-up at Naracoorte. Tricky gate but will give a bold sight. CAPE RADSTOCK (10) was fourth on debut then put away again. Fitter for two jump-outs, winning the latest, and has good upside. Low draw and expected to run well. KIJIVU (17) has been racing on speed lately and not far away. One of the contenders on best form. MONIX (2) was a close-up second fresh and given a let-up again since then. Winning chance on best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cincincity is worth another try.
