GOING: S

Axis Cleaning Maiden Plate Highweight 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.53).  

Little Sandy has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. NICABUK (4) raced favourite at Ballarat on debut beaten 2L over this distance. Maps well and this is winnable with the extra fitness. SNOW ON HER (11) brings solid form from the synthetic. Has turf form as good and will get every chance from the handy gate. LITTLE SANDY (9) peaks and is racing well. Has a wide gate but can make the finish with average luck. Stablemate SUENAMI ROSE (12) has the rail and will be better for the debut effort. The longer sprint should suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Nicabuk.
