GOING: S(7)

WELLINGTON & REEVES RESIDENTIAL MAIDEN 1230m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Hot pace certain with Sea Of Galilee, Heaps True Aye and Leafice keen to take up the running. The most likely draw wide. BRAVE DRAGON (4) resumes and is right up to this if presented forward. Was well in the betting here fresh two back, and was slow off and caught wide after. Has a near miss at Belmont over 1400m in the CV, so he has the ability. Go close with a good ride. Ditto ETERNALLY YOURS (6), impressed at the trials but offered little at Ascot on debut and was immediately tipped out. Resumes with a near miss in a Lark Hill trial under the saddle, and Fiore stays aboard. Draws wide as well, but a bold return is likely. LEAFICE (9) drops back to a shorter sprint and will find this grade more to her liking. Will likely push forward, and Faithfull's engagement is a lead. HEAPS TRUE AYE (10) led and just missed here over 1000m and has plenty of scope for improvement. Gets in light again, and the blinkers go on. Just has to run it right out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Brave Dragon.
