GOING: S(5)

CASTLEREAGH HOTEL SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

Proper Twelve has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. PROPER TWELVE (7) has changed hands since running a close second at Geelong six weeks ago and drawn ideally. Sure to take plenty of beating. CODONAS (2) had two starts in Victoria and wasn't disgraced in either. No public trials so keep an eye on betting. LORD VETTORI (4) will find this a bit easier than last couple at provincial level so can improve. JULIET BRAVO (12) and WENDOUREE (9) are each-way chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Proper Twelve to win.
