GOING: G

Hertz Maiden Plate 2025m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m. Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.28).  

From wide out The Simple Life can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. SABAN (3) clearly brings the best form lines to this race. Beaten under a length at Sandown two runs back then caught the eye in the closing stages when fourth in the Listed Port Adelaide Guineas last start over 1800m. Gives every indication he will run a strong ten furlongs so this looks the perfect assignment. SUN GIFT (10) started favourite and tried hard but was beaten a long neck over this course and distance last time out. Lightly raced filly with further improvement in store. Looks the obvious threat. EVERLASTING KISS (7) went around at $1.50 but gave away too much start when third recently over 1856m at Terang. Only third-up this evening so don't give up on her just yet. STAR OF KONGO (4) disappointed in soft ground last start at Moe. Worth another chance at odds if this track dries out. USK VALLEY (12) hit the line well at the end of 1600m at Ballarat last time. Looks ready for this step up in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saban looks a good bet.
