GOING: S(5)

JockeyCam VR Stakes Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

No Savings is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. Lots of these are close to getting off the mark. WINTER GRACE (8) has placed three of her last four, the latest running on strongly over a slightly shorter journey. Claim helps and looks tough to hold out. CREUSA (9) is the least experienced and probably has the most upside. Fair debut then improved sharply out to a mile when placed latest. Should be further improved over the longer journey and is worth following up. NO SAVINGS (6) is another of those knocking on the door with recent placings, the latest beaten a nose here. Can go one better. FAR FROM A CRY (5) hasn't been far away last few either, the latest over 2400m. Blinkers on and looks a strong contender on her best form. SHARK PARK (7) raced on speed to place last time and is yet another close to a maiden success. SUGGESTED PLAY: Give Winter Grace another try.
