GOING: G

Wiesners Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.3).  

American Russ to take charge ahead of Wollemia Angel. Hayes-trained PERFECTLY GOOD (10) resumed in the rich Sprinter Series final at Flemington beaten just 2.2L. He sat forward at Sandown-Hillside following but didn't finish it off. He will be fitter and is well placed in this line-up. Just needs average luck from a wide gate. WOLLEMIA ANGEL (12) has her third start and is ready to show more. Kersley rides today and can find cover. THE THIRD WISH (8) peaks and has the rail and handy 3kg claim. She was nudged out here two back and gets another chance. JUST LIKE HANK (3) resumes and was placed here over a mile before the spell. He will be naturally improved but draws awkwardly. A chance all the same. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Perfectly Good.
