GOING: H(9)

GM Cabinets Maiden Highweight Plate 2350m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.27)  

Moderate pace with Crackerofanight rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. LILLARD (4) remains a maiden after eight starts but finished fourth last start over 2025m at Cranbourne, beaten 5.5 lengths, but in a better race than this. Found only one better at his previous three starts and couldn't have asked for a better race to break through. CRACKEROFANIGHT (1) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 4.5 lengths into third over 2000m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. GAELIC KIWI (2) hasn't been disgraced his past two starts, albeit beaten healthy margins, but should be nearing peak fitness now and looks a key player. DEVOTED TO YOU (10) has been beaten similar margins - a tick over 9 lengths - her two runs this time in but will be fitter for them and looks suited this trip. SLOMO (8) is back from the jumps after being pulled up last start and while he might find some of these a bit sharp, he has a fitness edge. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lillard to win.
