4RACING WELCOMES YOU WORK RIDERS MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)    

Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of Vibe Sa, Rock Of Bismantova and Hat Man. VIBE SA (1) has very good consistent form lines to his credit. He raced from a handy position over 1200m last time, moved up but was outrun late. Having finished second in all three runs this prep deserves a winning turn. ROCK OF BISMANTOVA (2) resumes from a spell which would have done him the world of good. He finished third in his only attempt over this course and distance. If not in need of this outing, he should finish in the money. SOVEREIGN CROWN (11) is a two-year-old colt by Duke Of Marmalade out of Aurelia Cotta on debut for the A P Peter stable. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. HAT MAN (3) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1000m. This is an easier assignment and can take this out.
