GOING:

RACING240 MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Fast tempo assured with Ichacha, Global Zee and Green Street going toe-to-toe. GREEN STREET (6) set the pace over this course and distance last time but found one too good on the day. She returns from a 10-week spell which may have done her the world of good. If not in need of the outing, she should give the males a decent run for their money. ICHACHA (1) has been costly to follow. He is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be fatigued. Returns from a spell. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. SHAMOON (7) stayed on well when coming from last at the turn to finish third of nine over 1200m on the Inside course last time. She has scope and may have more to come. GLOBAL ZEE (2) is lightly raced with moderate form lines to his credit. He steps up to 1400m and if not in need of the run, he can improve to finish in the placings.
