GOING: H(10)

AQUASHIELD ROOFING MAIDEN 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

The pace in this Maiden over a Mile looks okay for slightly more than half the distance. SNOWFLAKE (8) is improving with racing this time in. She is in a very winnable race here. SILENT APPLAUSE (7) showed big improvement at her last start. Can finish second or better here wide draw and all. CRAFTY COLIN (1) is a wet tracker. He has been five times placed so far. The gelding is a place and first four chance here for bettors. PARADIS (6) resumes here. She is a triple placegetter already and one of those came here. The 4yo mare runs for a new stable now and can feature. NAVY BRIDE (9) is a definite improver on her fresh-up run for a new yard. Place or first four chance in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snowflake is the one to beat in this lineup. Paradis is the sly one for a new yard.
