GOING: S(7)

LIMERICK PARK MAIDEN 1200m

Track:   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Expecting Maureen's Angel to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MAUREEN'S ANGEL (4) sat up front on debut when crossing from a wide draw and was only 0.5L off the winner at the finish. Has been scratched since due to a minor mishap, but Pike hops on board now from a favourable alley. Can sit up front and be tough to gun down. CAPE CHURCHILL (9) has shown glimpses at the trials and looks to have found a suitable race for his debut. The inside draw should see him get every chance and it wouldn't surprise to see him make an immediate impact. UNWANTED NEWS (6) was sound on resumption over 1300m at Northam last time out and should be better for that effort. Ticks a few boxes here and can build on the handy return. DREAMS OF DIAMONDS (8) draws the inside and can't be discounted on resumption. OUR ENCHANTRESS (5) gets the blinkers on for the first time today and that can spark her into a strong return effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maureen's Angel can get the job done.
