GOING: G

BETWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)    

Small field but a good early tempo is expected with Golden Argo, Radiant Heat and Endizayo pressing ahead. EXECUTRIX (4) showed very good improvement when third over 1200m last time and weas then put out for a spell when resuming from a spell. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The drop to 1000m should not be an issue and if fit, she should be the one to beat. ENDIZAYO (3) produced a promising debut effort to finish second of 13 over this course and distance when sent out as the favourite. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should pose a threat. ON A JET PLANE (7) ran a fair race when third over 1400m last time. She is a progressive type and there should be more to come from her. KIVULI (6) is facing the starter for the first time. By Canford Cliffs and is out of the Paul Matchett stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
