GOING: G(4)

POTTER RACING PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 35)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 3.98)  

From the wide draw Wild Romeo can cross and set the tempo in a race without genuine pace. DIVINE SECRETS (10) resumes for the Snowden yard and was nudged out in a recent Randwick trial. Kicked off last time in a rich event for fillies at the Sunshine Coast and went well enough in her two provincial starts following to suggest she can give this a shake. This is a very winnable assignment. Atkins sticks around from the trials. MARK OF GLORY (11) is also Sydney-trained and was quickly back on track beaten 2.4L over this distance at Wyong. Fourth up now and she maps for a soft run. Should be in the finish. REDOLENT (14) also comes down from Sydney and has trialled well for her return. Went well in a recent Warwick Farm trial and jumps from an inside gate. Collett is a key jockey engagement and she should make her presence felt. WILD ROMEO (5) ran some promising trials for Bjorn Baker before switching to the local Pepper yard. Looked a run short placing at Albury on debut, and Heywood stays aboard. Has an awkward gate to contend with but he's a quick improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divine Secrets to win.
