IN THE BOX SEAT PODCAST BROUGHT TO YOU BY GALLOP TV MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 17)    

Genuine tempo with Dancing In Demark to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. LIGHT OF GABRIEL (10) is long overdue for a maiden win, having placed last three. Was just beaten here last time over 1200m and steps up to 1400m for the first time. Tricky gate to overcome but is the one to beat. DANCING IN DEMARK (4) made debut on the all weather track and ran an eye-catching third over 1200m then was put away again. Sure to have come on from the break and this looks ideal fresh. OMNIA (9) also resumes. Last resumed with a close-up fourth over this journey and on that figure goes close in this. Improver who must be included. ANEMIE (3) was fourth over the mile on the all weather latest. Has the claim and a low draw here and looks a definite danger.
