GOING: S

Rex Gorell Volkswagen Maiden Plate 1312m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ignacio. TREASURETHE MOMENT (14) made a very promising debut at this track over 1200m to grab second, beaten a length. Fitter for that run and looks set to kick on now. Finds a winnable maiden and should take beating. IGNACIO (1) is having his first run for a new sable, formerly with Chris Waller. The run last preparation behind Skybird reads very well. Keep safe. SNOWDEN'S SECRET (11) is a filly by Ardrossan on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. Must respect the stable. OBSTRUCTIONIST (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Treasurethe Moment to win.
