GOING: G

Goodstone Group Maiden 1350m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Moderate pace only with Occasional Glimpse leading Alla Rustica. KHALEESI'S DREAM (3) peaks and has been heavily backed and narrowly beaten at Launceston in his last three starts. Draws outside but keeps the top hoop and just has to take to the surface to take beating. ALLA RUSTICA (1) has switched from a Victorian yard on a 55-day return. Rates well on the first up run at Warrnambool and just missed in a recent trial at this track. Jumps from the rail with Pires engaged and has the ability to feature. LIGHT WORK (4) didn't run out the 1620m last time, but his form prior this distance range would have him in the mix. Draws inside and will get every chance. OCCASIONAL GLIMPSE (5) resumes and has trialled well here. Will race over further but gets in well with the 3kg claim and should be running into it. NEED A GIGGLE (2) will be fitter and may be the best of the others. SUGGESTED PLAY: Khaleesi's Dream to win.
