GOING: G(4)

Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 900m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. NORHEIM (3) was solid on debut when finishing fourth at Balaklava. Sure to have come on with that run under his belt and from a leading stable with Toeroek engaged, he looks a big chance. LIKE A DRIFTER (1) resumes for the Clarken & MacGillivray team. Was good on debut when just missing the frame after racing greenly, and from the draw he should get the gun run. CAMOOWEAL GIRL (8) is a Grunt filly on debut for the Evans yard. Has been readied with two nice pieces of work and can make her presence felt. LYRA STAR (2) has mixed his form but is capable of sneaking into the frame if he brings his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Norheim to progress and win.
