BETWAY WELCOMES YOU WORK RIDERS MAIDEN PLATE 1100m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 15) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo assured with War Sword, Flash Lightning and Hat Man locking horns. WAR SWORD (1) was running on well when second over 1200m on this course last time. She is the form horse and can go one better. PONTE VECCHIO (9) was disappointing in her last start over 1000m on this course. Her three efforts prior to that outing were good. If getting away to a clean start, she may prove hard to peg back. QUEEN OFTHE PALACE (10) should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung over the final 300m. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should be involved in the fight to the finish. DANCING IN WINTER (11) ran an encouraging race on debut over 1200m on this course. She returns from a spell during which time she would have strengthened up. With the natural improvement that is expected and if fit, she should be finishing in the money.
