GOING: H(8)

SEARLES GARDEN PRODUCTS Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: HVY9     Rail: True.  

Solid pace with Chiaro Di Luna finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. MUSIC FEVER (8) has made an encouraging start to her career and fought on well enough when finishing fourth at Beaudesert nearly 4 weeks ago. The winkers replace the blinkers, and she will find this assignment more to her liking. Hard to beat, despite the wide gate. PROUD MISS (9) battled on gamely in tight quarters fresh up on the Sunshine Coast poly track nearly 2 weeks ago. She will improve quickly with a run under her belt, and with the advantage of the pole position, she can take this out. CHIARO DI LUNA (6) has been trying to win a race for some time and is resuming from a spell. With some luck from a wide draw, she can make her presence felt. Include in all combinations. HE IS THE KISS (1) and STANAGE BAY (10) are both capable of figuring in the top 3 here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Proud Miss each way.
