GOING: Y

GOLDEN MONKEY 2023 STAKES CLASS 5 1200m

Track: YIELDING   Rain (Max: 27)    

No noted leader on paper so the pace looks moderate. LOVER BOY (10) broke his maiden last start over 1100m on the all-weather, scoring by a neck. Re-unites with Pinheiro who was on board last start. No reason he cannot get the job done again. GOLDEN SENTIENCE (9) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1200m on the all-weather. The engagement of Daniel Moor is a positive move. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KICK (3) didn't fire over 1200m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JULY (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1100m on the all-weather, finishing second and beaten half a length. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
