GOING: S(5)

THE LAWN SHED Class 1 & Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.70)  

Taradale should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. DAZZLING DIAMOND (10) broke the maiden status at the latest effort and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Winning rider Colis stays on top and again gets the benefit of his 2kg claim. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. JENCHICK BOOM (8) was too bad to be true when resuming but the form she showed in her first preparation was good enough to feature in a race like this. Expected to bounce back. WRITTY (9) is one from one over this course and distance and is drawn to get a soft run in transit from gate two. Top-three credentials. LUMENS LENNY (2) has hit the top-five in all three runs this campaign and has placed two from three around this circuit. Can earn a cheque. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,8,9,2.
