GOING: S(5)

RACECOURSE VILLAGE Class 3 Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.87)  

The pace looks strong from the outset. The well-related YOYO YEEZY (4) (half to G1 winner Uncommon James) returned in good order with a strong win over this track and trip and winning rider Thornton sticks in the irons. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and can bring up the hat-trick here. SPIETHTACULAR (5) was a touch disappointing last time out but the two wins to start the campaign were good enough for a race like this. Gets 3kg off with the claim and looms as the main danger. ASTAPOR (1) resumes here but has a handy first-up record with a win and a second from three attempts. Can run a race while fresh. OOHLALOUVRE (7) has been right there in all four runs this preparation including a win over this course and distance three back. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yoyo Yeezy to win again.
