GOING: G(4)

TAPERELL RUTLEDGE LAWYERS MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Just a modest tempo anticipated. EYNESBURY (3) could be the danger after a strong return last time out over 1250m at Canterbury, coming from last in the small field to be beaten just over a length. By Savabeel so would prefer him over a bit further but still poses a threat early in the campaign. KITESURFING (8) worked home evenly when second-up from a spell recently over 1150m at the Kensington track. The small field will suit her racing pattern. This looks a nice assignment. EXTREMELY PERFECT (2) showed early pace but couldn't do it at both ends when in the betting on debut at Canterbury last time out. Can improve on that performance with winkers applied today. VISION IN A DREAM (11) is a first starter from the Peter Snowden yard. Trial form has been plain but the early betting suggests there is a bit more under the bonnet. FABRES (4) has been gelded and returns from a five-month spell. Could go onto better things this time in work. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eynesbury on top but this is a really tricky little race.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw on December 31 over 1600m, 3 len behind Vasala carrying 55.5kg at $8. The run before that 4th of 8 at Canterbury Mdn-Sw on December 12 over 1900m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Four Candles with 54.5kg at $4.60. Should hold the form and she appeals as a top four contender at decent odds.
