GOING: S(7)

Goldacres Maiden Plate 2000m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.76)  

Smokin' Rohie to take the lead and control the tempo. RANSELOT (9) will be fitter again and is ready to deliver for the premier stable. Has a soft gate and Linda rides and knows her way around here. She stepped up to this trip last time on the synthetic. BRYDAN (5) got too far back last time but was only beaten 2L at Werribee prior and that's good form. Tackles a longer journey this time. Can feature. The blinkers come off OBSTRUCTIONIST (1) following a plainer run at Ballarat over a staying distance. This suits better and his best would see him in the finish. Ranselot's stablemate QUICK QUDOS (2) maps well and is likely to show more third-up while SMOKIN' ROHIE (3) can contest for a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Ranselot.
