GOING: N

RACING TODAY OPEN MAIDEN 1400m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 29)    

Strong tempo with Springsteen, Fire Alarm and Global Scene leading the way. FIRE ALARM (2) produced an encouraging comeback run over this course and distance. She was reported to have cast her left fore and left hind shoes that day which didn't help her chances. She will strip a much fitter horse today. She jumps from a handy draw of five and in this field should find herself in the winner's enclosure. GLOBAL SCENE (3) placed second of seven as the favourite at this track two starts back before finishing fifth of 14 over 1400m at this track last start. Jumps from a good draw of four and looks hard to beat. BEACH QUEEN (9) looked well in need of her resuming run last start and racing in a fitter state can place. HAT MONTERA (10) finished third of 10 at this track last start over 1600m and is worth including in exotic bets.
