GOING: G(4)

Border Carpets Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large representation of unraced runners. Tricky. SULEK (7) debuts and brings wins from the Flemington and Caulfield Heath jumpouts. Jumps from an inside barrier with Egan aboard and a bold run is on the cards. DUKE OF D'BROOK (3) debuts and has also looked good at the jumpouts. He has the inside barrier and should get every chance to shine. WYANDRA (9) and KIRKSVILLE (4) both debut for the smart Moody-Coleman yard. They have also shown enough in the lead-ups to suggest they'll be very competitive. The former maps well and the latter has the blinkers on. SICILIAN WARRIOR (15) resumes for a new stable gelded with McDougall engaged and could surprise at a big price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sulek on what we've seen.
