GOING:

LUCKY FISH AVIATOR MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)    

Moderate pace only with Southampton leading Lady Veritas. AMAYAH (8) was unplaced on debut but improved at each of two runs since, the latest beaten a lip here over the same distance. Ready to win and expected to go close despite the tricky gate. ROSE WOOTT (12) is a filly by Wootton Bassett from the stakes-winner Bring Me Roses on debut. Tricky gate but profiles strongly and pay to keep a close eye on a betting move. Expected to have ability. LADY VERITAS (1) was narrowly beaten over 1500m before a break. Showed enough ability in first campaign and sure to have improve. Has the claim and inside and should run well. CHAMPAGNE BLAZE (5) was placed fresh then sent out favourite latest and ran below best. Leading rider goes on and has a low draw. May well be worth another chance.
