RACING TODAY MAIDEN PLATE 1600m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with the speedy Dead Poets Society leading the way. RARE EARTH (6) back from a brief spell and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Resumes for new yard in easier company. Bold performance expected. SABRAGE (5) ran on well to get up for third at long odds at his latest appearance at this track over 1900m. Good signs last time and worth consideration. BUGLE (2) has been in the placings seven times from 18 outings. Last start finished fifth over 1800m at this track. Has recorded four top-three finishes from 10 runs at this venue. Will be thereabouts. DEAD POETS SOCIETY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
