GOING: S(6)

Beraldo Coffee Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. ROYAL HONOUR (3) was beaten at $1.30 on resumption but bumped into a handy one there, still putting good margins on the rest of the field. Happy to give him another chance second up and drawn to sit on speed in what looks a fairly thin race. BEAU STRADA (4) just found one better at Cranbourne last time out in a good effort and only needs to hold that form to be figuring prominently again. DOUBT IT'S LOVE (5) wasn't far away on wet ground here last time in an improved effort. She's a big price for exotics. MACCA'S ANGEL (8) resumes for her second campaign having been okay in three runs last time in. She wouldn't surprise. KELLERSLEA (7) is a filly by North Pacific on debut for the Hayes yard who can run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Honour to win.
