RACING TODAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m

Track: AW      

Cracking tempo with World Soprano and River Fern leading the way. SMIDDYBURN (3) did enough on debut when well in the market and kept coming to finish fourth. Leading rider goes aboard and expected to improve sharply. Can get off the mark. GALE WARNING (5) is fit and has enough speed to sit handy. Can win based on best form. RIVER FERN (4) has placed 3/6 including once this course and distance last time when tried to lead throughout. Take catching. WORLD SOPRANO (2) placed only try course and distance. Expect a forward showing.
