GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES FORM GENIUS Maiden Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire .  

Solid tempo with Unega Wahy'a possessing enough dash to find the front. WANT TO BE PROUD (1) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory with consecutive runner-up finishes this time in and this is not an overly strong affair. Lloyd sticks in the saddle following the last couple of efforts and can go one better against this lot. UP THE CREEK (3) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and is sure to be well-educated from the Vandyke barn. Respect any market confidence. CALL OUT (6) has been thereabouts in all five starts to date and looks to be nearing that elusive win. A must for the multiples. UNEGA WAHY'A (5) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Want To Be Proud to break through.
