GOING: G(4)

SELECTED SEEDS Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +1.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Capiana leading the way. WARILLA GORILLA (3) resumes and has switched from a top Sydney stable. He has placed fresh and has competed well in much stronger than this. He has a handy 3kg claim and will push forward. His recent trial placing at Warwick suggests he's on song. The betting will be key. LUCKY MAN (7) draws even wider, but he brings a 1L defeat here first-up, and he can build on that briefly freshened. RED TOFFEE (2) raced favourite in the same contest but settled a long way back and didn't get into it. He has trialled since (as required) and has two key gear additions. He impressed first-up at Ipswich and deserves another chance. MHASAHN (9) went well enough at Moree to suggest he'll be around the mark. CAPIANA (5) is in the top metro stable and is likely to show more third-up. Keep an eye on the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Warilla Gorilla if the betting suggests stable confidence.
