WSB WELCOMES YOU WORK RIDERS MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Star Trooper, Fantasy Girl and Smart View. HOUSE OF SUSSEX (2) should have finished closer last time as he hung inwards over the closing stages. His penultimate run when second under Musa Ntunja, catches the eye. If keeping on a straight line, he may be the one to beat. FANTASY GIRL (8) was disappointing in her comeback run over 1200m on the polytrack. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She has finished second twice and third twice from six starts on this course. She gets the services of capable work rider Xola Jacobs and can return to form. TRILLION DREAMS (12) showed some improvement in her last start over this distance on the polytrack. If confirming that effort, she should be finishing in the money. FLIGHT ENGINEER (1) raced well below his best last time out when eighth of 16 over 1400m at this tracks. Looks well placed so expecting a better run this time.
