GOING: G

GJ Gardner Homes Maiden Plate 1590m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.3).  

No recognised leader which leaves it to Richie Tycoon and Paltinian to set the tempo. CHEERS (11) was tried at Group 2 level before the spell and second-up showed more like his best beaten 1.3L on the synthetic. Coming back to the turf is positive and should go close. OPENING ADDRESS (12) raced at Cranbourne on debut beaten 3.5L over 1400m. Draws awkwardly but won't have to improve much to fight out the finish. PALTINIAN (5) peaks and maps well. He's going well enough and is sure to give a sight. I SEE STARS (9) was tracking well before the latest. Has the rails gate and McDougall is a positive jockey booking replacing the 2kg apprentice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cheers each-way.
