GOING: S(7)

INGLIS XTRA BONUS MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT7   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m, True Remainder . (Pent: 5.73)  

Moderate tempo expected with Aloysius likely to find the front over Zeljko and Shoot'em Up. ALOYSIUS (1) turned in a strong debut performance when holding a forward spot, before tiring late to finish fourth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Finds an easier contest today and can take control early and prove hard to run down. ZELJKO (14) back for her second campaign when closing off strongly in the heavy going to run second over 1300m at Newcastle. Ready for this extra trip and shouldn't be a maiden for long. SLEUTH (9) sharp improver second up when launching late to finish a narrow second over 1550m at Canterbury. Will appreciate McMurray's claim again. Genuine top three contender. PIERRO'S GIRL (13) improver after two runs back and this looks an easier assignment over the extra trip. Berry sticks and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aloysius to take catching.
