GOING: H(9)

COASTLINE BMW Maiden Handicap 1400m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Alkenter and Awarded Difference pressing for the lead. SATURDAYS GIRL (7) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up at her past couple of outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Looks to be working up to a win and must be respected out of the champion Waller yard. Rates the testing material. TURBO TORQUE (8) has placed two from two over this track and trip and maps ideally for this from gate two. Looms as the main danger. BOMB PERIGNON (11) has been just behind the placegetters in harder races of late and will appreciate the slight drop back in company here. Top-three candidate. VERBALIZE (4) put in a career-best performance when hitting the frame over this course and distance last time out and looks a must for the multiples. ALIQUAM (13) strips fitter third-up from the spell and gets in light with the claim. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 7,8,11.
