GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Same Race Multi QTIS Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +3m 1000m-W/Post; +1m Remainder.  

Missin' De Quo should spear straight to the front of the small field. The maidens kick us off. The well-related REMLAP KAVA (4) (full to G2 winner Chrysaor) is having his first run for the new stable but showed ability in tougher races down south and will be near his peak now third-up from the spell. Should play a major role in the finish. MARCH MADNESS (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in three of his past four and strikes a winnable contest here. Looms as the main danger. NAPA VALLEY (1) also hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Capital Gain) and has placed one from one around this circuit. Top-three conveyance. MISHANI BURN (3) strips fitter second-up from the break and may earn some minor money. SNEAKY TAY (7) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Remlap Kava to shed the maiden tag.
