GOING: G(4)

Bennett Racing Maiden Plate 2418m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

It just looks an even tempo. PRINCE BEEJAY (7) steps up in trip now fourth-up from a spell having been solid in his past two runs, working home nicely for fourth over 2000m at Seymour last time out. Should be at peak fitness now and rates a strong winning hope. AHAB (1) was good last start at Swan Hill and maps well here. Yet to find the placings from eight starts but gets a good chance to change that here. USK VALLEY (12) is better suited here having finished at the tail at Flemington. The run prior at Cranbourne wasn't bad in a handy maiden and she can improve sharply. IMPOSING EAGLE (5) rates an each way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Beejay on top.
