GOING: G(4)

THE PRINCE OF MEREWETHER MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Even tempo with many vying for the top spot early on. An even contest to finish the day and we put RUDBECKIA (9) on top after he fought on well enough when finishing third on debut at Kembla Grange and he will be improved by that experience. He is bred to excel over more ground so the extra 100m will help and he has each-way claims again. RUMBLING NIGHT (10) did not have any luck on debut and that effort is best ignored. His trial beforehand was good and he can figure in the top 3 this time, especially from the good draw. INCANTATION (17) put in a good effort on debut for fifth before running out of room when mounting her bid last time out. She is nicely poised to put her best hoof forward in this. AFLOAT (15) raced greenly on debut and will improve quickly with that run under his belt. The extra 200m will suit him and he is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rudbeckia each-way.
