GOING: S

Apiam Animal Health 2YO Fillies Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of unraced runners but expect plenty of early pressure. EXPRESS YO'SELF (5) resumes here with strong credentials for a race like this. On debut she was third in the Merson Cooper behind Eneeza, beaten three lengths and a repeat of that sort of rating will likely win this. INVINCIBLE MADISON (14) resumes having debuted in the G3 Gimcrack behind subsequent G1 winner Manaal. She was hard in the market there and finished last but is worth another chance. VERSAILLE (11) is a Written By filly on debut for the Moody & Coleman yard. She's won a trial leading in and looks smart. Keep safe. WHERE'S BRITTANY (12) debuted at G3 level behind subsequent Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Express Yo'self to win.
