GOING: S(5)

PIONEER SERVICES MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1100m-450m, True Remainder .  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. INTERNAL AFFAIRS (9) smart colt resuming. Found Where's The Circus too sharp last start when second over 1000m in the LR Inglis Nursery at Randwick six-and-a-half months ago. Primed with the two sharp trials and the cross-over nose band goes on. Gets his chance from the inside gate. SKYSTONE (11) Portland Sky two-year-old gelding from Rockarosa on debut for the Tom Charlton stable. Won a recent trial here in good style and shapes as a live winning chance. RADICALS (8) sat on the good speed on debut with a game second over 1000m at this track. Drawn out again but has the upside to go close. THEANDER (12) two-year-old Anders filly from The Wasp on debut for the Portelli camp. Has shown enough in her trials to suggest a forward showing is on the cards. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Internal Affairs in a competitive contest.
