GOING: G(4)

BJS ATC MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +7m Entire.  

Disco Kicks is the likely leader at a slick tempo. LAVISH CHARM (4) resumes today on the back of a nice trial at Lark Hill coming into this. He showed good ability in his debut campaign and looks to have gone to another level this time in work. CJP rides from a good alley and with plenty of upside, he can return on a positive note. CANNYKEV (3) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory, beaten 2.7L behind a smart one at Northam most recently. The form out of that race has already been franked and he has the speed to cross from out wide. Ticks a few boxes and should be right in the finish. LAST SHOUT (6) looks a smart horse on debut for the Fitz-Gerald yard, having trialled well leading in. The claim of ZJP comes in handy and he shouldn't be far away. DISCO KICKS (8) tired late first-up but sets up nicely for this. Can go close with the run under her belt. YANKEE ACE (5) is ticking along nicely at the trials and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lavish Charm can get the job done.
