GOING: S(6)

Race Services 3YO Fillies Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Despite the wide draw Grandstraz has the dash to cross and lead a low-pressure contest. Looks a perfect race for MISSION OF JOY (12) who resumes here. She had two runs in her maiden campaign, second on debut at Mornington when well backed before a solid effort in town behind a couple of handy ones. Like her at 1300m here and she should take holding out. OUTSIDETHESQUARE (13) is a filly by So You Think on debut for the Begg yard. She's jumped out well enough and this trip should suit nicely first time out. FULL DISPLAY (8) ran a credible race on debut at Swan Hill when well supported, third to one who has won again since. She can improve and take beating. FAITH IN ZADAR (6) is fresh for this but going well and in the mix, as is AZULITA (1) who ran well on debut and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mission Of Joy to win.
