GOING: S(5)

Stow Robotics Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

From their wide draws Capricorn Star and Shadhavar will press on and set a geniune tempo. ON DISPLAY (1) resumes after a fantastic win at the end of last preparation, running strong sectionals. She has trialled up enormously leading into this campaign and will take a lot of beating. GALA QUEEN (4) was slightly disappointing last start but tremendous prior to that. She can bounce back sharply third up in this contest. SHADHAVAR (13) has been building to something this campaign and may be looking for seven furlongs at this point in her career. HAZEL BABY (11) was brilliant last start, winning at Sandown Hillside three and a half weeks ago. This is a tough race, but her best form is competitive in this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing On Display.
