---|---|---|---|---|
Brazen Act should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. BRAZEN ACT (2) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory placing in seven of ten starts overall and this is not an overly strong affair. Has placed three from three over this six-furlong journey and gets in on the minimum with the 2kg claim. Rates the testing material against this line-up. The well-related BOMBARD (8) (half to 2xG2 winner Cifrado) strips fitter second-up from the break and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. Should play a role in the outcome. CHAMPAGNE TOWER (9) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to suggest she could be competitive in this contest. Top-three candidate while fresh. AVIOR (7) will be rock-hard fit for this and may trouble the judge with the right run in transit. DAY TO REMEMBER (4) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brazen Act to break the maiden status.
