GOING: G(4)

bet365 Bet Boost Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.20)  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Captivating Storm and Elegant Man leading the charge. ZAMORA (4) resumed over 1200m and raced on speed for a solid third. Fitter again and this no tougher. Looks hard to beat. ELEGANT MAN (2) is a 21-start maiden and yet to place in four fresh runs but jumping out well and finds a very moderate maiden. Had solid form before a break and has the figures to take this. Likewise, ALESUND (1) is a long-time maiden who is long overdue. Placed two back then midfield last time. Best figures measure up and won't get a better chance. CAPTIVATING STORM (6) wasn't far away at the last run before a break. Has run some forward races this trip and bold showing expected fresh. STEAK SANDWICH (12) was fair on debut and has upside. Looks one of the contenders. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zamora gets chance.
