GOING: S(7)

CACTUS IMAGING PROVINCIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Patrizia heading them off. SHE CAN SALSA (14) was impossible to miss on debut last start, coming from next to last to be beaten just 0.6 lengths over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Will relish the extra 100m on this roomier track. Very hard to go past. C'MON FLYER (4) has not appeared since an eye-catching third on debut over 1200m at this circuit in October. Two trials in February should have him forward enough to make a positive return. ZOUGOTME (7) settled midfield then quickened nicely to finish second, edging out She Can Salsa, over 1300m at Hawkesbury recently. Has far less room for improvement than that filly but in a race that suits he is sure to be highly competitive again. CABBUCIO (10) did her best work late when resuming over 1200m at Nowra last start. Taking on better maidens this time but she will enjoy this step up in distance. RUBILACE (9) has been getting too far out of her ground in 1200m races this prep. Can do better out to 1400m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with She Can Salsa.
