GOING: D(4)

Awassi/C.R Grace Ltd Mdn 1200m

Track: DEAD4   Showers Early   Rail: True.  

Speed anticipated from Petite Midas, Platinum Monarch, Sian and Rene. This is not a strong maiden line up but has a bit of speed early from a few so should be serious for the first quarter at least before any brake application is attempted or happens. The winner should be PETITE MIDAS as she ticks all the right boxes. Drawn well and has speed plus is course placed. SAVUNO and MADREKAY have both drawn out but can still be in the finish. The former is improving with each outing this time. The latter won a trial in October. Course placed. Rene on debut is likely to have tote support. Two trials for a win and a second. Sian has dash and runs for a new yard here. Trial third last month. Senior rider atop. Royal Ruby has a bad barrier but does have dash. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looking to side with Petite Midas saving on debutant Rene.
