GOING: G

WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. TWO TIME CHARLIE (1) is a big chance as he resumes for a new yard. This is far easier than debut in a hot form race at Belmont Park and after a solid trial should run well this level. VAMPI QUEEN (12) is from a proven family spearheaded by the stakes winning Zoom Express. Has placed in her past two Lark Hill trials. Clint Johnston-Porter taking the ride a positive lead. WATTO'S MARK (7) debuts. First seem as a two-year-old at the trials late last season. Tipped out after them and has since returned with a dominant Belmont trial win over 1000m. MIND FIELD (6) next elect off a Lark Hill trial win over 950m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with the race experience of Two Time Charlie.
