GOING: G(4)

Evergreen Turf VOBIS Silver Maiden Plate 2200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine pace with Earl Of Gloucester taking up the running ahead of Sungazer and Gotcha Moment. The staying race of the day, for the maidens, a number of whom have demonstrated a hankering for getting out to this trip. DUKE OF CLARENCE (2) has been massive prices at his two runs this time in, but they've both had merit and have hinted that 2200m was going to be right up his alley. TRYST AND DOUBT (11) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, last time over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside. Would be a good effort to win at this trip at start No 3 but Rob Hickmott knows how to handle a stayer. ZINOVATION (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1755m at Geelong, beaten 3 lengths, but will have come on from that and needs this sort of trip to be a winning hope. SUNGAZER (10) missed the frame first-up but has improved in subsequent runs, finishing in the money last start over 2000m at Murray Bridge. DOUBTA (8) should be peaking now and could race handier up in trip from the gun draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Duke Of Clarence each-way
