GOING: G(4)

ARMSTRONG GWM Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +5m Entire . (Pent: 6.10)  

Stabilizer and Anxo have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. ANXO (3) didn't measure up in town last time out but should find this assignment much more to his liking. Last outing at this course the start prior returned a second over 1100m. Likely to play a major role in the finish. Former Victorian TORONESS (10) is having her start for the new yard but should appreciate the drop back in company here. Top-three aspirations. LAAN (5) is facing the starter for the first time but won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep safe from the Gollan camp. The well-related RARE MOON (11) (half to G3 winner Icarian Dream) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Anxo.
