GOING: G

DCOH TROBIS Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Thelma's Bel and Ease Offa should set a strong gallop. VIERI (4) showed promise when trained in Sydney and made an encouraging local debut fresh up as favourite when finishing runner-up. He raced greenly that day and will be better for the run. On top. Follow your money. TUGELA FALLS (2) raced up to expectations here last time out when finishing second. He still has a few tricks at the start, but with a clean getaway, he can go one better this time. FLY (3) was placed twice in 3 starts when trained in Victoria, and he is resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. Don't underestimate his winning claims fresh up. RED EXTREME (8) did not run on as expected last start and will be peaking his fitness third up. She is capable of bouncing straight back into the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fly each way.
