GOING: G(4)

Bileena Stud Maiden Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Slick pace with Kobability finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. YES DONALD YES (1) debuted a month ago when he finished fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten only a long neck. Better for the run and can improve sharply. KOBABILITY (6) has been kept fresh since running below par last time, finishing eighth over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Has a high cruising speed and is expected to be in the finish. RAZOR'S MAGIC (11) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at Beaudesert. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SUMMER READY (12) has finished runner-up in three of her past four and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yes Donald Yes to break the maiden status.
