GOING: S(5)

M.J. DALE RACING CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 5.61)  

Plenty of pace from Jamacri, Call Me Grouchy and Rose's Legacy ahead of Artifactx. MAISON LOUIS (7) won a Maiden here by a big space, heavily bet, and the big money came again at Gosford following, and he had no luck at the business end. Fitter again, and he can bounce back. GRACEFUL ARTIST (15) is also in a strong Sydney stable and is better than the form line suggests. She's back in grade and three back was beaten a nose here over 1400m with today's rider Collett aboard. On a quick backup, and can finish hard. ROSE'S LEGACY (16) pulled up with an issue at Kembla Grange, but impressed beaten 1L at Hawkesbury prior when first-up. She has more to give and maps for the run of the race. JAMACRI (8) has disappointed heavily bet her last two. She can do better, but the outside barrier will take some managing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Maison Louis.
