GOING: H

Able Mechanical 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.1).  

Expect Limerick Lady to take up the running with Eclair Dancer close at hand. MARAVICH (3) draws awkwardly but presents at peak fitness off a 1.2L defeat at Sandown. Rates strongly and just needs a good ride to take beating. According to the jockey NORMA'S FLEET (12) didn't manage the track conditions at Sale and measure her ability on the near miss there three back at 64 level on the heavy. She should enjoy a soft run and is an each-way chance. MISS TRAMELL (11) went close here two back on the heavy. Will be fully fit and coming back to the mile shouldn't be an issue in a slog. DOUGAL MCKEEN (1) will be better with the run under the belt. The extra metres should suit and his heavy track form in NZ reads well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Maravich.
