BetaVet Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.35)  

A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. FOXENBERG (4) is a gelding by Foxwedge on debut for the Clayton Douglas yard. He was a smart trial winner recently and looks to have good ability. Expecting he goes close. CENTRAL BANK (2) improved nicely at his second outing having been disappointing when hard in the market on debut. Can go on with it now and is firmly in the mix. HIGHLAND BELLE (5) resumes for her second campaign. She didn't do a whole lot last time in but could be an improver. CHOP CHOP GO (3) next best on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Foxenberg to win.
