GOING: G(4)

ATC AUSTRALIAN DERBY 2400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.43)  

Pace looks strong with Goldrush Guru pushing forward from out wide along with Shanwah in closer. SHANWAH (4) progressive stayer hoping to secure Ciaron Maher his third ATC Derby. Chasing his fifth straight win after scoring a comfortable victory in the G2 Alister Clark Stakes over 2040m at Moonee Valley. Gets map favours again and expected to run out a strong 2400m. WILLYDOIT (1) classy Tarzino gelding who won with plenty in hand when taking out the G1 New Zealand Derby at Ellerslie on March 8. Will hold a prominent position from the middle draw and adept in all conditions. AELIANA (18) only filly in the field who comes here after finishing a desperately unlucky second to Broadsiding in the G1 Rosehill Guineas over 2000m. Gets a cheap run from the gate and the in form Damian Lane rides. Genuine contender. PLYMOUTH (5) has a sense of timing fourth up after striking trouble in the straight when a gallant fourth in the G1 Rhill Gneas over 2000m. Blinkers off and gets map favours. KING OF THUNDER (8) trip won't pose a problem, and he's come back a much stronger stayer. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shanwah to go close.
