Kwik Tip Bins Maiden Plate 1206m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.88)  

An absence of early speed provides First Fifteen with the opportunity to lead. AUSTRALIAN LEGACY (8) is a filly by King's Legacy on debut for the Hayes yard. She's looked good off the track, winning a recent jumpout, and Stackhouse should give her every chance from the inside gate. FIRST FIFTEEN (9) resumes. Ran sixth in latest jump-out at Cranbourne and she can be an improver with a spell under her belt. ARWYN (1) came on strongly on debut to finish fifth and beaten 4 lengths at Sandown-Hillside. Can improve but prefer the place. ASK YOUR MOTHER (2) should be poised to run a big race first up from a spell following two recent trials - must be respected. BENRIACH (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Australian Legacy to win.
