GOING: S(6)

Corryong IGA, Col McClure Memorial Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. TARA'S CROWN (10) is a first-starter by Hallowed Crown out of Tarazal. Placed in a recent trial at Echuca and finds a very winnable race first time of asking. Expected to go awfully close for the top yard. PRINCESS PRUSSIA (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 3 lengths, over 1000m at Albury. Will be hard to stop once more. PETROULA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Camperdown, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. SILLY CAT (9) is a filly by Omaha Beach out of South Esk who is at the races for the first time today. Respect any support. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tara's Crown looks well placed.
