GOING: S(7)

D & ND Jockey Club Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder.  

Expecting Sapana's Pearl to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. COLONEL PARKER (3) resumes here but the form he showed in his first campaign was good enough to play a role in this contest. Revved up for this with a recent trial and is drawn to get a gun run for Huxtable from gate two. Very hard to toss while fresh. HEY DAISY (8) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Respect any market confidence. TOWERS HILL (2) is having his first run for the new stable and a watch on betting is advised. SAPANA'S PEARL (6) has placed two of three over this sprint journey and gets in light with the claim. Has to be included in calculations. RUM RUMBLE (4) next in line while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,8,2,6.
