GOING: S(5)

GODOLPHIN LIFETIME CARE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: True .  

Strong early tempo with Think Of One and Spenzalot leading the way. LEOVANNI (5) comes here in peak condition and had excuses when jumping slowly before launching late to finish second over 1400m at Canberra. Well drawn again and will prove hard to stop if she jumps cleanly. SPENZALOT (4) is a promising type who shouldn't be a maiden for long. Went forward and failed to finish off in the heavy going when fourth over 1350m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Kept up to the mark with a 900m trial placing and represents a danger. PIERONIMO (9) wasn't too far away from the placings in three provincial runs last time in. Keep safe fresh. THINK OF ONE (2) draws well and could play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Leovanni to break through.
