Laurels Function Centre Book Now 3YO Maiden Plate 1006m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.88)  

Despite the small field Donebravo, Divine Empress and Covert Mission will set a genuine tempo. COVERT MISSION (2) goes on top. He's been close up in two runs back from a spell, just fading late at Moe first up, going even closer at Sandown Lakeside last time out when beaten under a length. He should be at peak fitness now and will be very hard to catch. Wary of SEA TRADER (4) who resumes. He didn't quite fire on debut but it was in a strong maiden won by Regal Award and he was well supported there off a good trial win. He's again trialled well leading into this and could be a quick improver. DIVINE EMPRESS (6) resumes having run in a strong Benalla maiden on debut behind Chateau Eze who has since been well performed at Group level. Suspect she can progress this time around. SWEET VIXEN (7) is a filly by Foxwedge on debut who can run well for the Cindy Alderson yard. DONEBRAVO (3) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Covert Mission to win.
