GOING: S(6)

WARWICK PRESSED METALS Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: True. (Pent: 6.09).  

Expecting Sunfyre to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. CHOCKABLOCK (3) has hit the frame in all four outings this preparation and draws low with the claim. Race fit now and has the hoof on the till. Likely to prove tough to hold out. NEWSBEAT (4) put in a career best effort last time and gets Collett in the saddle. Top-three contender with natural improvement likely. Former Victorian BAUHAUS (2) showed glimpses of ability down south and should have matured since then so may run a race while fresh. SUNFYRE (11) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chockablock to win.
