GOING: H(10)

JAMES BELL TREMAINS MAIDEN 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 10m  

Small Town Girl should spear straight to the front of the small field. SALLY (5) led up last start to place third. It was her fifth placing. Still on the improve. Win chance in this line up no matter the footing. SMALL TOWN GIRL (6) she has been twice placed so far. Good run two starts ago. Quinella and trifecta chance here without a doubt. GIBRALTAR RISING (3) is an improver on his fresh up run for sure. He has been twice placed and one of those came right here when second up. CHARLEMAGNE (2) is an improver at double figures on fresh up outing. Can pay a dividend or be first four in this. I'MAPRINCESS (7) was a very distant third at debut. She is however an improver here. Place and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sally is in a very winnable Maiden race here.
