GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: True.  

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. YOUMEANDDUPRE (7) is fitter for two runs back and with the extra ground and in easier grade won't find a better chance to find some form. JOLLY JAPES (12) was no match for the winner but gave a sight latest and finished runner-up in a tougher race on the Sunny Coast. Expected to give a sight here. TROFEO (6) is a three-start maiden who is yet to hit the frame but sure to be improved and looks to have come back in good order with a trial win. Can hit the ground running this campaign. MISS FIRESTAR (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fifth in a 1400m contest at Bathurst three weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. THE HINDUSTAN (4) has had a lot of chances but is a top three contender on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Youmeanddupre can improve.
