GOING: G(3)

Kerang Plumbing and Pumps Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. Plenty of win chances. LICENSE TO EXCITE (10) looks overdue for a win, the latest giving a sight when runner-up last time at Terang. Has pace and expected to take catching again. PRESTIGE ERICK (5) was a near miss two back then finished fourth last time in a richer race at Ballarat. Can improve on that and gets chance. PRINCESS PRUSSIA (7) is another overdue for a win. Beaten just a nose last time at Yarra Valley and no surprise to go one better. UNTETHERED SOUL (9) was fourth on debut at Kilmore then improved to finish runner-up last time at Towong. Has further upside and can feature in the finish again. SPARKLES (8) has been going better than the form suggests and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: License To Excite to take catching.
