GOING: S

Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.86)  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. LAST STYLEBENDER (2) showed ability when last in work including a placing when last resuming and has placed 2/3 fresh. Fitter for two hit-outs and expected to go close. HOFF IS ENUFF (12) is overdue having placed 5/8 in career and both runs while fresh. Fitter for two hit-outs, winning the latest. Can get off the mark this time. BOLD SUITOR (8) settled just off pace on debut, loomed up and hit the front but was grabbed late and held third. Better for it and shouldn't be a maiden long. EXPRESS BARBIE (4) is a filly by Alabama Express out of Pink Perfection making debut. Trialling well and Melham aboard. Watch the market closely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Last Stylebender looks primed.
