Anthony Wadwell Takes on Sportsbet Mdn Plate 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Little early pressure expected in a race devoid of an on-pacer. MAKDANE (4) has run second in both runs back from a spell and can go one better here. He's been hard in the market at both starts and has not been far away. Maps for a soft run from the inside gate and finds a winnable race here. SACRED INGOT (6) has run second at both starts to date, beaten just half a length as the even-money favourite at Cranbourne over 1500m last start. Should be better again up in trip and will take a power of beating. BATOKA CHIEF (1) is a gelding by Sacred Falls on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. The stable has an outstanding record with debutants here. Keep safe. CASCADE MOUNTAIN (2) was sound on debut at Ballarat and can improve. TERTULIA (10) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Makdane to win.
