GOING: G

Apiam Animal Health Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Not much early pressure but Mrs Harris, Mufasa and Positivo can take up forward spots. BRING FORTH (1) was heavily bet fresh and just missed, the rider facing stewards and questioned at length about the ride. Fitter and rates clear best in this line-up. Gets his chance to atone. MRS HARRIS (11) was well in the market on debut and settled off speed before winding up nicely. Missed the frame but not far away and ideally suited by the extra ground. CONTACTED (9) tackled a richer maiden at the Bool and freshened since. Looks an improver. GIRLPOWER (10) is an eight start maiden freshened since last run over 2000m when led and finished fourth. Placed in a recent trial. Draws the inside and right in this on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bring Forth can atone.
