GOING: G(4)

Farm Frites Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.48)  

Not much gate speed on show enabling The Lady Venus to roll to the front. CAPE RADSTOCK (11) went back from a wide draw and couldn't get into the race last start over 1300m at Bendigo. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and finds the line like a horse that needs this trip. Gets her chance in a race that lacks depth. CONVAAYA (5) returns from a 24-week spell. Opened the maiden prep with a couple of nice efforts in the 1300-1430m range which earned a crack at a stakes race. Has been to the jump-outs twice so should be forward enough to run a big race. IMMORTAL ONE (8) began awkwardly before making late ground to finish fifth last time out over 1200m at Donald. Gets to this trip for the first time which looks a positive move. THE LADY VENUS (10) has hit career-best form at her last couple of runs, beaten under a length on each occasion. Steps up a little in distance which will suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cape Radstock to break through.
