GOING: S

Sale Cup: Save the date 26th Oct Maiden Plate 1110m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.23)  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. Another tricky race. FROSTED BLAZE (13) debuts and has won his three most recent jumpouts. Maps for the run of the race, and Currie is engaged. He's in a smart barn and a bold run is likely, SEMELLE ROUGE (14) debuts for a leading metro stable and has looked sharp in her jumpouts. Draws wide, but she looks to have plenty of ability and expect her to feature. GRASSBURN (7) resumes for the premier yard and is the best of the raced division. She's placed 2/2 fresh and has raced well in stronger Maidens. She's had two jumpouts and Brown rides - a leading course/stable striker. CHAMP'S QUEEN (6) debuts and has jumped out well enough to deserve consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frosted Blaze on what we've seen.
