BAYLEYS COUNTRY MAIDEN 1150m Track: GOOD3 Out 7.5m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. CEASE AND DESIST (4) was well supported in the market on debut in his only start as a juvenile, and failed to flatter. He makes his return after a decent spell as a gelding for the first time, and a recent Avondale trial win says he is ready to rumble. SIR YOU CAN DANCE (3) has been given plenty of time to mature and has won his only public trial. He can sit just off the pace from a reasonable draw and can figure in the finish. Watch for any positive market moves. DROPS OF GOD (12) has been well-educated at the trials for leading trainers, and she will be suited by a handy gate. Each way claims. REBEL CREEK (13) has been close up in 2 trials, and Craig Grylls keeps the faith for her debut. Again check the market moves, but this filly has a motor. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rebel Creek at some each-way value.
