Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.38).  

Lack of speed evident which paves the way for Flower Gallery to be prominent. BARAQIEL (2) debuts and the speed-bred gelding profiles well. Finds a winnable assignment and will get every chance under Ben Allen. FLOWER GALLERY (9) disappointed here 12 days ago but was tracking well prior. Has a handy 3kg claim today and maps for the run of the race. She deserves another chance. ZE BEE NINE (6) is proving hard to catch but races forward and will also be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Baraqiel should prove hard to roll.
