GOING: S(7)

EMIRATES PARK MAIDEN HANDICAP 900m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.8).  

Of the raced horses Sharkhop should lead with Hot Chestnut and Champagne Betty up handy. HERE COMES HOGAN (1) has been around the mark at provincial level in three starts and resumes down in grade on the back of a nice trial win. Clearly on top. MISSY MOSS (3) hasn't been seen at the trials since winning nicely in November so any market push should be respected. In top stable. Same goes for PRIDE TO FOLLOW (8) from a strong local stable and following a trial win. Keep in mind. SHARKHOP (9) and UPWARDLY MOBILE (10) are the only other hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Here Comes Hogan to win. Trifecta 1-3,8,9,1/3,8,9,10.
