GOING: S(5)

MCA POLYTRACK MAIDEN 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +15m with cutaway.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hoya Destroyer crossing from the outside gate. MY AUTHORITAH (14) was just fair in his first trial this time in work before a much better effort recently. He showed plenty of scope in his debut campaign and now the Blinkers go on for his return. Chris Parnham sticks and he can shed the maiden tag on resumption. FLAMING RONDA (12) is on debut for the Meryl Hayley barn following a couple of nice trials this time in work. She meets a couple of handy types, though she has shown ability at the trials and she should get her chance from a favourable barrier draw. HOYA DESTROYER (8) trialled impressively heading into his debut, though he disappointed at Ascot as favourite. He resumes on the back of a nice trial yet again with the gear changes attempting to combat some of his inefficiencies. Not willing to discount him just yet. PRODUCTIVE (2) can play a leading role on resumption, with the booking of CJP a good push. LASH OUT (5) can improve out in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with My Authoritah.
