GOING: G

Schweppes Mdn Hcp 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 5m 1000m-W/P. Out 3m Remainder, 1400m Chute Out 5m. (Pent: 4.74).  

Improvise should pounce on the lead from the good draw. There doesn't appear to be much pressure and for that reason should prove hard to beat. Raced handy on debut last time out and didn't receive the clearest of passages at a vital moment when third. Should improve from that and look for Bowman to eliminate all bad luck from the equation here. WILD ABOUT HER has been around the placegetters at both career starts. She did her best work late at Canterbury last start and breeding suggests she'll lap up this distance. McEvoy sticks. SPARKY LAD showed nice improvement with a second at Canterbury, Races two months between runs but been back to the trials and done the job well. IMPROVISE might roll to the lead here with little pressure apparent and from there control the race. Raced handy on debut last time out over 1200m at this track and stuck on well to be beaten a length into 3rd place. Will no doubt be better for the run and Bowman takes over this afternoon. Stablemate WILD ABOUT HER warmed to the task when the race was all over last start over 1100m at Canterbury. Could race a shade closer today and the extra trip will suit. SPARKY LAD can make it a Waller trifecta first up from an eight-week let up. Closed well without threatening when runner up over 1200m at Canterbury at his most recent appearance. A nice trial recently has kept him ticking over. Waller also has a Frankel colt on debut in the shape of TANGMERE - keep an eye on betting with this beautifully bred staying type. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Improvise to control.
