GOING: G(4)

GRANTHAM'S HORSE TRANSPORT MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Fair Grace to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ENORME (8) made her debut in the city at Belmont well over a year ago and had a couple of trials in May before joining a stable that would place her more suitably in the country. She resumes over 1400 metres which suggests she has done the necessary lead-up work and she is the one to beat in this. MONTY ZOOMER (1) has changed stables since his last run at Bunbury where he failed to fire. He will find this easier and the extra 300 metres on offer will also do him no harm. A close market watch is advised. SLAVICA (4) had to go too far last time out when resuming on this track and should be able to secure the run of the race here from a much better draw in the pole position. Stick with her in a field that lacks any real depth of form. FAIR GRACE (5) has had no luck with her draws recently and finally lands a good gate here. The blinkers are on for the first time and with the benefit of a 2-kilo claim, she can run into the money for the first time in her career. Each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fair Grace each-way.
