GOING: G(4)

REC EQUINE SPECIALISTS MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. COOL BLAZE (1) missed a whisker at Kembla Grange on debut. Resumes fitter for a trial win at Warwick Farm and will be naturally improved. Hard to beat on what we've seen. YOWERI (7) debuts and has been well-trialled. Has won his last two and Adkins sticks from the latest. Promising and should run boldly. INVINCIBLE PHANTOM (4) was in contention on the bend here first-up and ran out of steam late. He was heavily bet and despite losing Adkins deserves another chance. SHE SWINGS (2) resumes has shown good ability. Draws inside and she goes well enough fresh. Has a metro trial under the saddle and has to be considered as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cool Blaze each way.
