GOING: S(5)

AWN Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.35)  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large contingent of first starters. DRUMLARGEN (1) went forward and gave a great sight beaten a nose last time out over 1200m at Naracoorte. Led and just missed prior and can go one better in this line-up. POPTHEBUBBLY (11) led and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner last start over 1200m at Ballarat. Has the blinkers on for the first time and is better placed. May race forward again and is a winning chance. KELORIK (3) resumes with the blinkers on for the first time and is over from Adelaide. Has been tried at Group level and has ability. The betting will be key. STAR ROTATION (7) debuts for the premier stable and is likely to be better than his trial suggests. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Drumlargen.
