DECLARATION OF PEACE MAIDEN PLATE 1400m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 21) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Muzzle Flash, Queen Of The Air and Baltic Assayer going hard, closely attended by The Golden Goal. CASSANDRA (3) caught the eye when third of 12 over 1200m on the turf on debut last start. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was encouraging. She would have gained from the experience and she should love the rise to 1400m. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat. QUEEN OF THE AIR (7) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to have mucus in her trachea. Resumes from a spell which would have done her the world of good. If finding the form of her debut run, she should be figuring in the finish. THE GOLDEN GOAL (1) raced from a handy position over 1200m on this course last time, but found one too good on the day. He jumps from pole position and rates highly. BALTIC ASSAYER (5) has shown signs of needing her last two starts after returning from a spell. She will be at peak fitness and Chad Little may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most.
