GOING: S(5)

DEBORTOLI FAMILY WINEMAKERS MAIDEN 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +1m Entire.  

Wego One Wego All to take up the running at a moderate tempo. SHIMMERY STAR (7) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory after a 2.7L defeat at Pinjarra most recently. She draws a much better gate this time around and Chris Parnham sticks with here here. She looks well placed on her recent efforts and can secure his maiden win. ROYAL TALK (4) sat handy at Narrogin last time out for Azzopardi and just missed in a close finish. He rates highly on that effort and the rise in trip for the first time doesn't look an issue. Should get every chance from the draw and a forward showing is expected. CHANTINTUNE (3) is on debut today and gets CJP in the irons. He'll be fitter for two trials coming into this and he finds a suitable race on debut. Can be in the finish on debut. SOPHISTRY (8) gets the blinkers on first time for her resumption and can make an impression. TIGERLAND (9) can bounce back today despite taking on the older horses. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shimmery Star can get the job done.
