VANDY'S ROOFING & GUTTERING MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 34)   Rail: True . (Pent: 5.76)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Viewpoint leading the way. VIEWPOINT (3) surprised at the big odds at his second race when almost pinching it before being nailed on the line when second over 1500m at Newcastle. Can get control again from the low gate and go one better. KUMBAYA (8) struck trouble at the start which put paid to her chances when fifth over 1550m at Canterbury. Fitter now and look for her late from the sticky draw. SERPICO (12) just under a month between runs when he knocked up late at Newcastle. Suspect the stable have changed things up at home and he lands here with improvement on the cards. ROYSTON (2) will be fitter for two trials coming into this and the mile first-up looks a good move. Can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Viewpoint will prove hard to run down.
