GOING: S(5)

BECOME A BRC MEMBER Maiden Plate 2060m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 6.05)  

Cubans Crown and Vermilion Kirin will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. FIRE AND LIGHT (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four in all seven starts this time in work and strikes a very winnable contest here. Graham sticks in the saddle following the last two runner-up finishes and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. VERMILION KIRIN (5) hasn't been too far off them in all three runs this campaign and will be ready for the step-up in trip now. Looms as the main danger. BOLERO (9) has placed four of her past five outings and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a role in the outcome. OUT OF LUCK (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fire And Light to get a well-deserved victory.
