RACING TODAY MAIDEN PLATE 1200m Track: AW |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Hot tempo expected with Chief Runner, Garden Sun and Mitredat heading the charge. BROOKSIDER (3) was his own worst enemy over 1400m last time as he over raced in the early stages. He has finished second once and third once from three starts over this course and distance. With a bit of luck in the running can shed his maiden tag. CHIEF RUNNER (2) was reported to be not striding out in his last two starts. He has scope and can show good improvement in this field. FLIGHT ENGINEER (1) has been in the market at his recent starts but yet to break through, the latest running seventh at Fairview. Has upside and expected to be in the finish this time. GARDEN SUN (4) finished ninth last start at Kenilworth over 1800m. Comes here with definite place claims
