GOING: S(6)

Fleet Plant Hire Solutions Maiden Plate 1512m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Heez De Man has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. STAR ANGEL (14) is another decent winning chance for the sharp Freedman stable. She went close here before spelling and resumed with a head defeat at Bendigo, impressing. Draws out, but she will be fitter, and Ben Allen is a positive jockey engagement. DUBAI WATCH (3) was freshened and came from well back to place at Echuca. Peaks today and can get into the finish. ORAQUA (12) resumed over this trip 45 days ago at Bendigo with a solid effort and has jumped out since. She has more up her sleeve and Williams is a key jockey engagement. Quick improvement is likely. FIRST INFANTRY (5) is still new but he had good support at Moe second-up and will have taken fitness and learning. Draws inside and expect a better effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Star Angel.
