GOING: S(5)

DAWN CAMPBELL MEMORIAL PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 9m 1100m-W/Post. Out 7m Remainder.  

From wide out Ask The Wife can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. STAY BRAVE (2) was solid in a recent trial and debuts on his home track with a soft draw. Sure to run well. IRISH BLISS (3) disappointed in a summer debut but looked sharp in a recent trial. Worth another chance in this line-up. ASK THE WIFE (1) has race experience to offer after country placing on debut prior to a spell. Can improve further. FAYE RUNAWAY (6) has done everything asked in two trials and despite a wide draw could show up on debut. Market watch advised. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay Brave each-way.
