GOING: N

RACING TODAY MAIDEN PLATE 1900m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo with Global Scene, Fantasy Girl and Hat Montera leading the charge. BATTLE OF BRITAIN (5) is having her first run from the Gavin Smith stable. She has finished fourth in her last two starts. She has scope and if taking to the polytrack can take this race out. FANTASY GIRL (3) has moderate recent form lines to her name. She tries the 1900m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer should be fighting out the finish. GLOBAL SCENE (1) is better than her first run for the Juan Nel stable looks on paper. She steps up in distance and fresh-up from a spell if putting her best foot forward can place. HAT MONTERA (4) took on male rivals over this course and distance last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. Jumps from an inside draw and is worth considering.
