GOING:

BETWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 25)    

Hot early pace is on the cards with Storm Boulevard, Mayor Of Merrivale and Agamemnon matching motors. KOHANA (6) has shown good improvement in his last two starts. He finished off his race well when second over 1400m on this course last time. He should love the rise to the mile. He is coming along the right way and can go one better. STORM BOULEVARD (1) set the pace over this course and distance last time but found one too good on the day. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. The son of William Longsword is likely to have his own way in front from barrier two and he should be hard to peg back. OLIVER TWIST (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong each-way prospects. COME ON YOU SPURS (4) is a 13-start maiden who finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
