GOING: S(5)

Ralcon Homes Maiden Plate 1740m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

The speedy Adinath should find the front with Eclipsion and Rocky Balboa on his heels. OXFORD BLUE (11) caught the eye on debut with a good finish from the tail of the field, getting within a long neck of Too Darn Discreet, who came out and won a G2 at Flemington on Saturday. Gets an extra 240m here which suits ideally and he looks a possible late-blooming Victoria Derby type. HOT MAJESTY (9) made good improvement at his second outing, running in a BM64 at Flemington when third to Swiftfalcon, who was very impressive winning at Randwick on Saturday. Rates highly. ECLIPSION (2) was beaten narrowly when well supported at Seymour and is in the mix. HAWKSURE (3) will be fitter and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oxford Blue to win.
