GOING: S(6)

Warrack Motel Maiden Plate 2000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Explosive Weather leading the way. Not the most inspiring contest, but there must be a winner. KINGSFORD (3) ran home well at Swan Hill latest in similar conditions, and will appreciate the extra ground on offer here. As good a chance as any. USK VALLEY (12) improved a long way last time to finish runner-up at Seymour, and looks poised to strike third-up. MRS HARRIS (9) looks to be progressing towards a win, and produced a good effort two back to get close at Bendigo. Each-way hope. SHADES OF SHERIFF (4) drops right back in trip after tackling a 3600m affair which didn't suit last time. Keep safe. BRYDAN (6) was only 2 len away over 2200m at Werribee last time and comes right into it here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kingsford is heading in the right direction and looks capable of a strong performance today.
