GOING: G(4)

Boss Plumbing & Drainage Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 40)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with Gold Thunder leading from Havana Moon and Acantilado. HAVANA MOON (4) was well fancied on debut at Donald over this trip and ran a solid race without threatening, fading late to finish third. She should come on from that experience and this looks a nice race for her to land on speed and give a bold sight. BOLD SUITOR (2) resumes. Two runs in his maiden campaign were solid and he has trialled nicely leading into this preparation. He may well have improved and maps for every chance. GOLD THUNDER (3) resumes. She struggled in two runs in her first campaign but has won a jumpout at Pakenham leading in and is another to draw ideally. Suspect she'll do much better here. SMASH BLUE (6) resumes. She showed ability last time in and kept improving each time out. She'll likely give some dangers a start but can be running on late. GOD ONLY KNOWS (8) was well beaten on debut as favourite at Wodonga and she could be a sharp improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Havana Moon on top.
