GOING: G

Manhari 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Sierra Dee Jay to take charge ahead of Heez De Man at a solid tempo. SHE'S A BEAUTY (11) is worth another try. Showed ability last campaign when out a little in journey and returned this time in over 1200m when wide throughout and boxed on well. Fitter and the extra furlong a big plus. Can atone. BROTHER QUICKIE (1) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth latest over 1600m at Pakenham Synthetic. Overdue for a win and rates a top chance on best. PEEAITCHDEE (4) is a three-start maiden who improved at each run when stepping out in journey. Will have come on from the break and although is worth following at a mile plus this isn't strong and can feature fresh. BELLA GISELLA (8) was well beaten here fresh then thereabouts latest. Having first try at the extra ground now and expected to go forward with less pressure early. Can give a sight. HEEZ DE MAN (3) was a solid fourth this trip two back on the synthetic then well held on wet turf latest. Can sneak into the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's A Beauty can atone.
