GOING: G

Steely Sales Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with Garrix probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. All the chances coming back in grade. GARRIX (4) is a 13 start maiden but two back placed in open three-year-old class and last start wasn't far away in a BM68. Back to maiden grade looks a top chance to get off the mark. Same goes for HIGHSTRUNG (5) was was runner-up out of his grade two back then fifth in a BM68 latest. Should go close back in maiden class. STARTYOURENGINE (7) is a three start maiden formerly prepared by the Hayes yard in Victoria. Has ability and could well go close first run this area. PRICE SHARE (6) was beaten a long way in a Class 2 last time and returns to right grade. DENUTO (1) is another back to maiden class and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Garrix.
