GOING: S(7)

Harris Accident Repair Centre Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.40)  

From a wide gate Green Amber has the speed to cross and lead a low-pressure affair. Tricky. CHOUXDINO (1) is a 10-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1418m at Werribee. There should be fitness to come now and with the favourite out he looks well placed. IMMORTAL JUSTICE (8) is finding it tough to break through but is going well with three minor placings in a row. She can take up a better spot here and run well. CHARLECOTE MILL (12) was just fair fresh at Seymour at big odds albeit not beaten that far. She can only improve off that. GREEN AMBER (7) put in a better run last time at Naracoorte and could take catching again with a favourable scenario. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chouxdino to win.
