GOING: S(5)

ALBANY STOCKFEEDS MAIDEN 1240m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

The ideally-drawn Lady Vigara to set a strong tempo with Agent Remington and Blinding Luck applying plenty of pressure. AGENT REMINGTON (2) showed enough on debut to suggest he won't be a maiden for long, beaten 1L when jumping the equal favourite in an open event. The form out of that has worked out nicely and this looks to shape similarly. Can go one better with the added experience under his belt. DESERT ORA (6) has been racing strongly in tougher company, almost negotiating the wide draw last start when beaten 0.7L. Faithfull hops on board now with a drop in grade. Drawn out, but she can round them up as she almost did last time out. I'M ALL THE FUNK (8) flew home to just miss over this track and trip most recently. McNaught remains in the saddle and while she has drawn wide, she did last time as well. Can be finish off with a wet sail. NO COMEBACKS (3) showed enough in his debut campaign and has trialled nicely coming into this. Won't be far away. KENTUCKY DRIVE (5) wasn't beaten far as favourite at York last time and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Agent Remington.
