GOING: S

Do It For Dolly Day C,G&E Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.84).  

Moderate pace. BODHISATTVA (2) has placed in 7/8 starts to date, resuming with a distant second at Seymour behind a smart one over 1200m. Up in trip here suits and he can break through. CATCH A BREAK (4) was solid in second on resumption at Geelong over 1300m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has upside and can figure. ROMAJI (10) remains a maiden after nine career runs but last time hit the frame, finishing third over 1400m here. Comes into calculations. APACHE DEEL (1) wasn't expected to do much when fresh from a spell last start at Yarra Valley. Should strip fitter second up and can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Playing the exotics around 2,4,10,1.
