DAVALI YEARLINGS @ HTBA SALE MAIDEN PLATE 1250m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True 400m-W/Post; +2m Remainder.  

Expecting a moderate tempot with a lack of speed horses engaged. CATONAHOTINROOF (5) indicated a win was imminent second up at Wyong when fourth over 1200m on April 3. Set to peak here and the winkers go on from the good draw. Goes close. MIGNONETTE (8) well bred filly who shouldn't be a maiden for long. Motored late on debut when a solid fourth over 1300m at this course last December. Primed for this with the two searching trials and should be strong late. RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (4) Justify colt resuming. Finally drawn a decent gate after showing ability in his two career runs last year. Gelded over the break and his two trials have been encouraging. Leading player. PASSALACQUA (3) strips fitter for this and gets through the heavy conditions. Held a forward position before folding up in the straight when sixth over 1200m here at latest. Senior rider back on and has place prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Catonahotinroof and Mignonette to fight it out.
