GOING: G

Vale Brendan Drechsler F&M Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Just Jenni leading the way. STAR ANGEL (9) is yet to hit the frame but form reads well for this. Resumes in easier company and fitter for a jump-out and trial should feature fresh. STAR CANTO (10) has had three runs for three minors and has been given a good break since. Returns with the shades on and rates to feature. SUMMER SPRITZ (11) was fair on debut then improved sharply second outing. Has upside and no surprise to see her off the mark. JUST JENNI (3) gave a sight at odds on debut and should be much improved. May well be value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Angel well placed.
