PETER LUDGATE MEMORIAL RACE 1215m

Track: SOFT     True  

The race pace looks not too bad at all here in this Maiden event over 1215m. MALMAISON (1) fresh up here but looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Course placed. He is a deadset Maiden winner in waiting. MURCH (2) good debut run for second here at big odds. He is better drawn in this too and had trialled well twice beforehand too. Price will be massively reduced. LETSBRINGTHEBLING (9) has been placed in four of five runs. Wet tracker so far. Big chance after a 3kg claim in this. JOSHUA BROWN (4) ran super at his first start and can pay a dividend today for sure. He had trialled well twice prior. Drawn out again but can cope. MAPALICIOUS (10) three times placed. Two of those have come here. Wet tracker so far. SUGGESTED PLAY: Malmaison is a win wager.
