GOING: S(5)

TEKNIK - FIRESENSE PROVINCIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +4m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.25)  

Moderate tempo with Empusa leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. EMPUSA (10) has a been ticking over well since resuming and gets a crack at a longer trip now. Lots to like here. AUDENZIA (6) can mix form but peaks into this third up with a senior rider on. Despite a poor draw looks likely. JASON DARREN (4) has been top three in his last four starts and secures another friendly gate. Hard to ignore. EXOTHRILL (1) has been very genuine of late but is on trial at this trip. Each way hope. WINNING RULET (14) made an honest debut but finds tougher here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Empusa straight out.
