GOING:

TAB 4RACING APP MAIDEN PLATE 2400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 26)    

Solid tempo likely from Future Success and Asiah's Tiara. ASIAH'S TIARA (8) is long overdue having placed 8/16 and the last four on end. Placed four times here. First try at the trip but has been winding up strongly and expected to go close. EUPHRATES (1) was course and distance placed three back. Solid in two runs since over 2000m but looks suited back out in journey now. Likely to prove hard to hold out. EMERALD CITY (4) is building towards a win including a last start second here at the trip. Can go one better. FUTURE SUCCESS (7) was safely held last time but can improve sharply third-up and out in trip. Top chance if at her best.
