GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Maiden 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.64)  

Solid tempo with Thermal Miss possessing enough dash to find the front. VABUIAGI (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1100m at this track. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. ALPINE RUBY (2) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer John Blacker. Finished ninth at Sale over 1429m at the opening run last time in work. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. POETIC LIGHT (5) returns from over 18 months off. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Blinkers on and sure to be competitive. UP TO TORI (9) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed fresh and looks very hard to beat. CAFFY (3) rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt after a long break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vabuiagi looks the one.
