GOING:

SOCIAL SQUAD SYNDICATE MAIDEN PLATE 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Courtly, Lucky Thirteen and Congressman to take up the running at a decent tempo. HAPPY DAYS (9) showed good improvement in his last start over this course and distance. He moved up like a winner but was outrun late. If confirming his recent improvement, he should go close to winning in this line-up. GRIPEN (7) stayed on well when third over 1600m last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He should enjoy the rise to 1800m and must be considered. CONGRESSMAN (3) was in the money at this track when resuming from a spell two runs back then could only manage fourth at this track over 1800m last start. Has the pace to take a forward position. Well placed and gets his chance to break through. WOOD WORLD (6) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1800m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him and is a must be included in exotic bets.
