Duttons Easy To Do Business With! Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: +9m 1200m Chute, +12m 800m-W/Post, +9m Remainder. (Pent: 6.00)  

Off the low draw Amanda's Joy has enough speed to lead the way in the absence of a recognised leader. UNITED LEGEND (4) continues his campaign with a third stable but finds a suitable maiden to show something in. Drops back to 1400m and gets onto a big track. Think he can figure on an each-way basis. KIKKULI (3) was OK first-up then turned heads with a trial between runs. He is definitely a winning chance in this line-up. BRISEIS ECLIPSE (8) hops over the border with some decent Victorian form. She wouldn't need to improve too much to give this a real shake. KATHERINEMARIE (10) looks well placed back to maiden grade after a cheeky run in a harder race last time, while AMANDA'S JOY (6) is ready to run a race third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on United Legend third-up.
