GOING: S

Marshalls + Dent + Wilmoth Maiden Plate 1212m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m 800m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.75)  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. Tricky. PHAROAH'S GLORY (9) resumes and was nudged out in all three starts last preparation. She will be naturally improved and her jumpouts point to a bold return. HOMEWARD (7) resumes and has shown enough to suggest she can feature. She won her most recent jumpout in good style and can hit the line hard. Wary of ZAYYANO (13) on debut and the early betting suggests he's pleasing. Well-bred and he brings a string of sharp jumpouts. Has the blinkers on and Dee is a positive jockey engagement. FORTYSECONDSTREET (6) resumes and two backed was heavily bet leading and just missing at Cranborne on debut. She will use the low barrier and her jumpouts have been good. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pharoah's Glory on what we've seen.
