GOING: S(6)

1EQUINE - FOR THE EQUINE ATHLETE Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.00)  

Plenty of pace from Pull The Catch, Blanch and Stella Boo matching motors ahead of Powias. ACCELERATE RAPIDLY (5) had a tough trip when trapped wide, resuming at Warwick nearly 5 weeks ago. She has a better draw and also drops 2kg after a clever claim. The blinkers are on for the first time, and she is good enough to win a maiden race at short notice. BLANCH (2) finished third here on debut and won't be bothered by a wet track. She cops a wide draw but is expected to naturally improve, and won't be in this grade for much longer. ENTITLE (3) was runner-up in her only public trial on this track. She has the home track advantage and is in good hands for her debut. A good draw will see her well-found in the markets. Watch closely. PULL THE CATCH (1) has had her races well-spaced as she strengthens up. She won a recent trial on this track and will be ready to rumble fresh up. LOVE TO ALL (13) will be peaking third up and fought on gamely for fourth at Ipswich over 800m just over 2 weeks ago. The extra furlong is ideal. Each way claims this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Accelerate Rapidly each way.
