GOING: S(5)

SCHWEPPES Maiden Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).  

Looks a tactical race on paper. ZOUGO BOSS (2) has been saved for this and expect him to go well. Resumed at Doomben unfancied but it wasn't a bad effort. He's in the top barn and will keep building. Maloney is aboard today in a positive jockey switch. WHOMSONEVER (13) debuted off a string of strong trials and was defeated 1.4L at Grafton. She will present fitter and will race forward. This is within her scope. ANTILLES (12) resumed in good order beaten 1.6L here over a shorter sprint. She is suited by the step up in distance and finally draws an inside barrier. A senior rider replaces the apprentice. Solid each-way claims. CHAMIERRO (9) raced new at Doomben first-up but is showing enough to say he'll win races. Maps well and will have taken fitness and learning. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Zougo Boss.
