GOING: G

RaceCape Powered by Hollywoodbets MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail out 2m on back straight, with a 4m spur at approximately the 550m mark  

Am Still Winning, Fairfield and Exquisite to take up the running at a decent tempo. FAIRFIELD (2) looked well in need of her last start run over this course and distance when resuming from a spell. She raced wide around the turn with no cover and faded in the run home. Her penultimate run when second over 1400m was encouraging. She will strip much fitter and from her good draw of two looks hard to beat. JET TO THE SUN (7) raced from a handy position over 1400m last time but found one too good on the day. She is having her peak run today and has to be respected. SANSA STARK (8) was doing her best work late when fourth over this course and distance last time. She wasn't that far away last time out and has place prospects. EXQUISITE (3) has shown improvement in each of her outings to date. Jumping from an inside gate with Richard Fourie in the saddle rates well as a main danger.
