GETSASHIMI MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 34)   Rail: True . (Pent: 5.76)  

They should run this along with The Little General and Sweet Twilight taking it up over Bellevue. Tricky contest with plenty of chances. THE LITTLE GENERAL (8) covered plenty of ground from the wide gate and no match for the classy Sequista when fifth over 1200m at Gosford. On the quick backup with the blinkers going on. Will take catching third-up. MANUKAU (11) Godolphin mare who returns after bumping into some handy types in her first campaign. Fitted with the two good trials and has a host of gear changes for this. Look for her charging late. BLAZING FUTURE (2) third-up for this after he struggled to run the 1500m out when last in a Super Maiden at Kembla Grange. Maps well from the low gate and is open to sharp improvement. SWEET TWILIGHT (12) is not to be discounted off a solid debut performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Little General and Manukau can fight it out.
