GOING: S

Ladbrokes Owners Bonus Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. MISS TRAMELL (11) ran a good race fresh at Mornington, running on well from midfield to grab third, beaten under a length. Should only be fitter for that now and she can take up a prominent spot from a good gate. TASTE OF WINE (13) has been good in two runs to date, beaten a length in the same Mornington lead-up last time out. Was in the market there and has upside. Big chance. OMAMORI (7) is a gelding by Dundeel on debut for the Bussutin & Young stable. He's been okay at the jump outs and kicks off at what should be a suitable trip. Wary. STYLE GUIDE (12) was even fresh and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Tramell to win.

Second-up. First-up after more than three years ran last of 13 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on April 23 over 1512m, 17 len behind Frozen Tide with 59.5kg at $101.

Hard to recommend.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, second last of 8 at Pakenham F&M Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1200m, 11 len behind Youwroteuponit carrying 57.5kg at $101. Last start ran last of 12 at Mornington 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 28 over 1200m, 12 len behind Wealthy with 53kg at $201. Not among the chances.

Comes off a 45 day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at Balnarring Pic-Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 2000m, 1.0 len behind Tussock carrying 65kg at $3.20. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; of 12 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1856m, 11 len behind Advance To Jaffa carrying 57.5kg at $61. Not far away last time. Worth following up.

Second-up today. Last run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on April 28 over 1500m, 0.9 len behind Lava Delta carrying 57.5kg at $7.50. At only start last preparation led to the turn then faded 5th of 12 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw on September 22 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Quafftide carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Fitter and is a leading contender.
