GOING: H

Langley's Port Fairy & Warrnambool Accommodation Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.83)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Hollow Turf leading the way. Very open. HOLLOW TURF (2) was runner-up two back then a little off best last time when fifth over a similar journey. Has good speed and off the low draw will take catching. BRAZEN MARTINI (1) was placed two back then was well off best latest when wearing out of it. Change of rider and on best figures is right in this. SIRLEAF (3) made a nice return over the 975m at Swan Hill when fourth and can only be improved. Kept fresh but has since had a jump-out. Yendall goes aboard and can sneak into the finish here. GOLDEN VADER (8) has started just twice and although hasn't done a great deal is open to plenty of improvement. Could feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hollow Turf will take catching.
