GOING: S(6)

YARRAMAN PARK MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: +2m 1600m-400m, True Remainder.  

Strong tempo from Satin Sparkle, Dwayne and What A Gent. Satin Sparkle, Dwayne and What A Gent can set a strong tempo. DWAYNE (1) is six runs into his maiden prep and keeps stepping up. Freshened up since finishing less than two lengths from the winner over 1550m at Canterbury six weeks ago. Switched from Waller to Nathan Doyle and looks well placed to make an instant impact for the new yard. ZO FRILLING (10) registered her fifth minor placing from eight starts when beaten narrowly over 1400m at Newcastle last start. Handy filly who loves the soft tracks and is sure to play a big role again. MACHRIMORE (14) was in commission on debut recently over 1200m here and did a good job to battle on for third. Only needs to cope with the give in the ground to be competitive again. XERXES (4) led in a different role for him and failed by a whisker last time out over 1400m at Tamworth. Loves the sloppy conditions and should give them something to catch. SATIN SPARKLE (8) finished just ahead of Machrimore at this track last time. Should be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dwayne is ready to break through.
