GOING: S(5)

Arilla Retirement Village Maiden Plate 1450m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.43)  

Lack of early speed means Sonic Belle could find the lead. Plenty of these with upside, including FULLY FUNDED (5), who was well fancied on debut over six furlongs and ran on well to just miss. Fitter and looks ideally suited by the extra ground. Expected to go close again. CERTAINLY QUIET (4) finished off first campaign with a fourth in a BM64 after charging home for a close-up fifth at the start prior when on debut. This suits fresh and looks to have plenty of ability. CELESTRA (3) put the writing on the wall two back with a fast finishing third then came home without threatening last time in a richer maiden at Pakenham. Has the ability and is worth another chance. SHE'S STARGAZING (12) ran an improved race at her second outing and looks suited by the extra ground. SHIPSTERN BLUFF (13) has plenty of upside and can play a feature role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Fully Funded.
