GOING: G

Territory Connect Leadership On Larapinta Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Good   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Iz Shaft, Startyourengine and Highstrung. Looks a good race for STARTYOURENGINE (5). Former Victorian fitter for two runs for the new yard and has .laced at each. Has more upside than most and looks well placed in the small field. Hard to beat. IZ SHAFT (3) is another close to a win. Has placed the last two, the latest beaten a nose behind Riverina Waltz who is in the previous race. Has the pace to lead and will take catching again. HIGHSTRUNG (4) has been freshened since finishing fifth here last time over 1400m. Has the ability and will be tough to stop. DENUTO (1) raced out of class two back then safely held last time in the same race as Iz Shaft. Will be winding up late. FLAVIUS (2) was another from that race but can do better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Startyourengine.
