GOING: S

Ladbrokes Owners Bonus Maiden Plate 1217m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.59)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Fearless Monarch leading the way. EL FORTRESS (1) turned in an eye-catching run last time when motoring home late to place. That was in a richer maiden and looks well placed in this to get off the mark. URUBULA (11) is a three start maiden with ability. Raced just once last time in for a second placing beaten a lip. All three starts to date have been in richer maidens and expected to go close fresh. RUBY AVENUE (7) has been in the placings at both starts this time in. Doesn't have to improve much to feature again and drawn to be on speed throughout. SWING LOW (12) has been a couple of lengths away at last couple. Best figures stack right up so must include. SUGGESTED PLAY: El Fortress gets chance.
