GOING: G

Ladbrokes Blackbook Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Good   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Dynasty Reward should spear straight to the front of the small field. Small field but good race. DAD BOD (2) is a former Victorian four start maiden. Placed only try fresh and rates highly on best Victorian figures. Low draw and can go close. SAXON BEACH (5) has been given a let-up for a sharper this. Long overdue with a string of minors and will be tough to stop again. DYNASTY REWARD (3) is another long overdue placing four of last five. Speedy type who should be prominent again. STAMPED (6) resumed with a fourth here and kept fresh since. Strips fitter and expected to figure prominently. BENDER MCGEE (1) is a form Hong Kong galloper who started here once for the new yard and placed before another break. Can go close again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watch for Dad Bod fresh.
