GOING: S(6)

BATEMANS BAY SOLDIERS CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. LA BELLA ROSA (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back to finish seventh over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Tackles a more suitable race this time and perfectly placed to score. LINDOS (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was ran fourth over 1400m at Kembla Grange two weeks back after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the class to figure prominently. MR USHER (1) resumes. Went back from the outside draw with a battling tenth over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Has ability and goes into the calculations fresh. ZOUFECTION (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when last over 1200m at the Sapphire Coast in a Super Maiden. Fitter now in a weaker contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,11,1.
