GOING: S(7)

THANK YOU ATR PARTNERS 1200m

Track: SOFT 7     True  

Beau Luca and Pollyisacracker possess good early speed. HAKUSHU (6) ran well fresh up. He looks a Maiden winner in waiting no matter the footing on offer today. DELZ ABEEL (3) good run fresh up for a very close second here. Won a trial on the course as well prior. Carpark barrier but is a winner in waiting. COMPULSORY (2) has run six placings and his last three efforts have all been close up performances. He has been course placed. Impossible to overlook here wide draw and all. MR MARIGOLD (4) ran a good close up third when resuming for a new yard. Drawn out but cannot be omitted here from anywhere. FLEETWOOD (5) was a good second fresh up here. Has drawn wide in this. Not out of it at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hakushu and Delz Abeel look the best two in this big Maiden field.
