Maribyrnong Plate 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine

PriceTag is the one to beat. Didn’t have much luck on debut but it was a very solid effort for a strong finishing third. MilitaryTycoon is a first starter and has been well tried in early markets. Bacash should get a good run in transit from barrier 6. Prestar is another first starter from the T&C Mcevoy stable and has been met with good support. ShiningSmile is also worth thought after a sound effort on debut.

2024 Maribyrnong Plate Runner by Runner

1. Shining Smile (9)

Decent effort on debut. Can show up in this despite the wide draw. Worth thought.

2. Winmar (5)

No luck on debut and drawn for a softer run here. Shinn steers, can win.

3. Bacash (6)

Sound on debut when well backed. Has J-Mac and is a major player in this field. Keep safe.

4. The Opportunist (7)

Can’t have.

5. Prestar (2)

First starter from the T&C Mcevoy stable. Jumpout over 800 was solid and can run well from the nice draw.

6. Red Barron (10)

Can’t have.

7. San Marco Kid (12)

Prefer others.

8. Space Rider (8)

First starter who is a market watch on debut with Damian Lane booked.

9. Tycoon Star (4)

Can’t have.

10. Price Tag (13)

Excellent on debut without much luck. Should be able to find clean air from 13 and and staying at the 1000 should be fine. Best of the raced brigade and goes on top.

11. Meisho (11)

Good effort running 2nd on debut and that form looks okay for this. Keep safe.

12. Lady Pankhurst (1)

First starter who is a market watch fresh.

13. Military Tycoon (3)

Has halved in price since markets opened and is a first starter from the very in form Maher stable. Keep safe.
