GOING: N

BECOME A GCTC MEMBER Maiden Plate 1540m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

Little early speed on offer so Prefer To Dance should be prominent. BOULEVARD BOY (1) resumed here on the turf beaten narrowly over 1300m. The longer trip shouldn't pose an issue with the extra fitness. The local finds a winnable race. Stablemate NOTABADLARTE (4) debuted in the same race and was fair through the line after a slow start. He has an outside gate to manage today, but he will be better for the outing, and the longer journey will suit. PREFER TO DANCE (5) is up to this at best but has been struggling for form on the turf over longer. Gets some key gear changes, and he may show more. CIRCUS MAXIMUS (2) has the form jockey and is in a smart local yard. A hope if he put his best foot forward. Ditto SOMAX (7), but the wide gate makes it tough. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Boulevard Boy if he's preferred in the marketplace over the stablemate.
