GOING: G

Colemans Printing Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Hebel is the probable leader in the small field. DEPENDENCY (3) has had 19 cracks at the track without breaking through, yet this might just be the weakest race she's found yet. Was less than 3 len off the winner at last start, and a repeat performance would have her winning this by lengths. Clearly the one to be with. PICCADILLY HERO (4) looks better placed today off a freshen, although suspect she'd want to find a few lengths on what we've seen so far. Each-way hope. HEBEL (1) likely sets the pace and will take catching if the others let her get away with things up forward. SABIE FALLS (5) just made up the numbers last time but this is easier and she might fall into the top three. IVOR GOOD ONE (2) likely to struggle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dependency would want to be winning this, and today looks to be her day.

Most recently ran last in a small field at this track Cl2 on May 31 over 1100m, 10 len behind Checkthemenu carrying 55.5kg at $14. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at this track Bm54 on May 3 over 1200m, 11 len behind Chuckamicky with 55kg at $71. Can dictate in front and might just pinch this if things go his way.

Form hard to fault. Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at this track Bm54 on May 31 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Stella Bystarlight with 55kg at $5. Before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on April 20 over 1200m, 8 len behind Buckleup Buddy carrying 55kg at $5.50. Won't have many better opportunities than this.
