GOING: S(5)

Fantasy Cocktails 3YO Maiden Plate 1423m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Pace strong from Saint Aubins vying for the lead closely attended by Southern Money. SAINT AUBINS (3) looks clearly the one to beat. He debuted at Sandown Hillside over 1300m and ran well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths. That form has already worked out with the second horse winning since and with race experience under the belt he should go awfully close. PAT'S BRO (2) is a So You Think gelding on debut for the Hayes yard. He's jumped out well enough to be a factor. CATACLYSMIC (1) is a gelding by The Autumn Sun who can hit the line well on debut. MEDICI (8) is in the mix off a placing last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saint Aubins to win.
