GOING: G(4)

D&R PLUMBING & GAS SERVICES MAIDEN 1612m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.70)  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Fly Away Flirt and Queen Of Chaos leading the charge. QUEEN OF CHAOS (4) finished a solid fourth here 8 days ago and was less than a length from the winner. She has been trying to win a race for some time and should cope with a mile better than most in this field. Each way claims. SWEET EYES (8) has been steadily improving with racing and was not far away in fifth place at Albany nearly 2 weeks ago. She benefits from a 1.5kg claim, and her trainer, Adam Durrant, seldom treks to this course without taking home some of the main prize money. Stick with her. DE ZANE GREY (1) did not fire here fresh up, but can improve second up, and in this sort of field, he could be one to bolster any combinations at a price. WITCHY WOODS (3) will find this company more to his liking and a form reversal is on the cards. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sweet Eyes each-way.
