Geelong   24 Apr 2024
 
GOING: S

SC Technology Maiden Plate 1512m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Without a noted leader engaged Bo Cougar may cross from wide out and take it up. BO COUGAR (10) resumes having run very well on debut at Geelong, beaten under a length in second. Put up a strong rating on that occasion and one that won't need to be improved upon much to be winning here. SUPER DAWN (12) ran well first up over 1400m at Ballarat, finishing fourth. Fitter for that and maps ideally here. Can win. MISSY SPIKE (9) has been racing well, not far away when fourth at Swan Hill last time out. She'll be rock hard fit and can figure in the finish. IL AMERICANA (8) was okay first up at Cranbourne and should improve into this. LIFE SENTENCE (7) has had excuses in two runs back and his form last time in would go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bo Cougar to win.
