GOING: S(5)

Stony Creek Football Netball Club 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

Moderate tempo with Montjuic Magic leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. The draws make it tricky. Feel like MONTJUIC MAGIC (10) is the best of these and despite a wide gate will take beating. Has good early speed and on what he showed in his first campaign may well be just too smart. IGOTMYMINDONYOU (3) is another who has drawn out. Hasn't been far off a win and gets the handy claim this time. Has shown pace or has taken a sit before but with a good steer will be in the finish. BRAZEN FLING (7) wasn't far away last time after racing on speed and has placed 2/3 this trip. One of the better hopes. MISS LIL (9) is going well and overdue for a win. Placed 3/4 this campaign, all three in wet ground. This will be the firmest track for a while. COVERED IN CASH (1) resumed from over 12 months off with a fair run but will strip far fitter. Has gone close second-up before and expected to improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Montjuic Magic fresh.
