GOING: S

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Maiden Plate 2050m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.70)  

Expecting Super Groovey and Reliable Jo to pair off in front. OMAMORI (6) has built nicely into his debut prep and again looks a strong chance. Brown takes over and if they roll forward again he will prove very tough to beat. OKAY ZOOMER (5) has been freshened after finished a close sixth on the synthetic last month. Tick-over jump-out suggests he's come on nicely and the inside alley will assist over the longer trip. Looms a threat. CLENCH (2) is still figuring it out. Only missed by a lip two back and then had some excuses last time. From a smart stable and should appreciate the rise in trip. Don't take lightly. ASK YOUR MOTHER (1) has struggled to threaten so far but still has upside and could sneak into the frame. SUGGESTED PLAY: Omamori to win.
