GOING: S(5)

THE CATON SCRAMBLE Maiden Plate 1350m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 30)   Rail: +3m Entire . (Pent: 5.60)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Power Of Success and Uncle Ian matching motors. ZOUGO BOSS (4) hails from a handy family (half to 2xG3 winner and G1 placed Zoustyle) and has gotten better with each run. Gets Maloney on to navigate from the sticky draw and looks a serious player. TRUMP CARD (3) has placed three from four over this distance range and has revved up for this with two trials. Top-three candidate. The well-related OUR BENEFACTOR (13) (half to Hong Kong superstar Lucky Sweynesse) best of the rest from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zougo Boss to win.
