GOING: G

The Haymarket Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Not expecting them to go too hard. Low rating maiden with the majority of these going around big odds lately. THA MAESTRO (10) hasn't been far away last couple, two back a close-up fourth then going back from a wide gate latest and getting home hard for fourth. Fitter for three runs in for the new yard and can get off the mark. BLUE JEAN QUEEN (7) started huge odds last time and turned in a career best when third here in a similar race. Looks a danger again with a repeat. WET 'N' DRY (6) is a 21-start maiden who has placed twice and worth noting they were both here. One of those was last start at big odds but found one better. In the mix again. SITAR (4) turned in a career best here last time at bog odds when third. Should be getting home hard again. INSTINCTIVE SPIRIT (8) has been fourth but well held at last two. Change of rider to John Allen and has the inside. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Tha Maestro.
