GOING: G

LIVE IT. LOVE IT. OWN IT MAIDEN PLATE 1250m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)    

Kisses should lead at a slick tempo. EISTEDDFOD (8) has finished fourth in both her efforts to date. Corne Orffer is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the awkward draw and may be hard to peg back. QUEEN REGENT (5) was a beaten odds on favourite over 1200m at Kenilworth last time. She showed good speed, fought hard but found one too good on the day. Has each-way claims. KISSES (2) last three starts have been good. She drops to 1250m and from her good draw of two, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. Don't overlook her chances. SOUTH OF FRANCE (6) finished third if 12 last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Kenilworth. Racing in a fitter state with Craig Zackey taking over the reins rates well as a leading chance.
