GOING: G(4)

ELDERS INSURANCE F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. SHE THINKS AHEAD (6) comes up from Victoria and now in the Brett Robb yard. Returns from the lengthy break after dropping out sharply when fifth over 1500m at Ballarat Synthetic last August. Can sprint well fresh for the new yard. YAKAMOZ (11) resumes in a winnable race for the new stable. Faded quickly on debut when seventh over 1400m at Kembla Grange last August. Fitted with the one trial placing over 1000m. Lugging bit goes on and can overcome the sticky gate. ALL SAINTS (1) back in class and now in the Sharon Jeffries yard. Ran a tough second two-back, then dropped out quickly with a dismal seventh over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Claim helps from the good gate and can figure prominently. DIRTY DANI (8) got too far back on debut with a battling eighth over 900m at Newcastle. Can improve on that effort and sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: She Thinks Ahead can get the job done for the new yard.
