GOING: H(8)

ANZAC DAY Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. The maidens kick us off. VESPER LYND (6) has placed three of four over this track and trip and strikes a very winnable contest here. Has had a bit of a freshen up since that last-start placing and looks the one they all have to run down. CAPITAL BEAUTY (8) has placed two of four over this sprint journey and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Looms as the main danger. The well-related EQUINE ART (3) (half to G2 winner and G1 placed Glenfiddich) resumes here but showed ability when last in work and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. BLOODS A RUSHIN' (7) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market confidence must be respected. CHIARO DI LUNA (2) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vesper Lynd to shed the maiden tag.
