GOING: S(6)

C&S STEEL FIXING QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.90)  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Egzakly and Aye Eye Boom kicking up to hold out the next wave. KETTLEBELL (10) is first-up here but showed some ability when last in work and has placed around this circuit. Rates a serious threat. The well-related ZARIPPA (4) (half to 2xG3 winner I'm A Rippa) is facing the starter for the first time but is sure to be well-educated from the Gollan yard. Draws the inside marble for Orman and any market confidence must be respected. AYE EYE BOOM (5) has gotten better with each run and strips fitter third-up from the break. In the mix. EGZAKLY (8) has placed in both starts to date and is a must for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kettlebell to win.
