GOING: G(4)

THE WARRA CLUB PROVINCIAL 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Expect Ask The Wife to boot up and hold the fence. Race has changed complexion completely after several key scratchings. AIX EN PROVENCE (1) resumes. Showed good promise during a three start maiden campaign late last year where he placed in each start. Strikes what looks a suitable assignment first up. THINK WE'RE THERE (6) debuts. Trials in readiness for this have been sound. CRACKENTHORPE (3) gets a few gear changes and most recent trial was better. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aix En Provence win.

Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
