GOING: G

Ladbrokes Owners Bonus Maiden 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.35)  

Moderate pace only with Echuca Moama leading Midnight Miracle. I ONLY WISH (7) blew the cobwebs off fresh with a solid fifth placing at Pakenham over 1400m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has that fitness advantage on a few key rivals now and did show decent ability last time in. EYES WIDE SHUT (6) resumes having been around the mark last time in. Should get a nice run midfield here and be hard to hold out. BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT (3) is a filly by Shamus Award on debut for the Moody & Coleman yard who has shown glimpses at the jump outs and kicks off at what should be a suitable distance. ESTERNAY (5) was solid fresh, finding the line well at Sale. Drawn awkwardly again but is suited up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Only Wish on top.
