GOING: G

Philip Dowling Memorial TROBIS Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Good   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Without a recognised leader, Desi's Spirit and Fabres will likely set the pace. Four newcomers to the area and they look have the race between them. YULE POINT (3) is a former Victorian who was close to a win before heading north and finds a very modest race to make his Top End debut. Should go close. MEET ME AT THE BAR (2) is also a former Victorian coming off a freshen and has the blinkers added. Should be sharp for this. FABRES (1) is a former NSW galloper who has had a few tries but has racked up some good ratings in much stronger company. Leading player on best. ONE LAST PROMISE (4) makes debut but did trial a couple of times for the former Queensland yard and showed ability. Watch the market closely. EPIC JEWEL (6) is capable of a better run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Yule Point fresh.
