GOING: S(5)

RACECOURSE VILLAGE Maiden Handicap 1110m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.95)  

Power Of Success should find the front with Winchman and Brazen Act on his heels. BRAZEN ACT (1) has been consistent without winning, placing in eight of 11 overall but may have found the right race here. Has placed two from three around this circuit and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Can finally get the maiden out of the way. WINCHMAN (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in six of eight starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest. Gets 3kg off from the inside alley and should be going very close. POWER OF SUCCESS (3) resumes but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race like this. Tuned up for this with a dominant trial win and rates a genuine top-three contender while fresh. Former Victorian SMART SHAZZA (7) looked good finishing second in her local debut and will have come on with that run now in the locker. In the mix. CLIODHNA MAEVE (9) next in line at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brazen Act to break through.
