GOING: H(8)

Dalton Consulting Engineers Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy On The Loose leading the way. ON THE PROWL (5) finished full of running fresh at Sandown-Hillside and will relish rising to 1400m. He can settle closer from the kind draw and keeps the in-form Billy Egan aboard. He will take plenty of stopping. ROUGH ENUFF (6) caught the eye on debut here on January 9 and, while he couldn't produce the same burst last start, he should be hitting his straps third-up and is expected to appreciate the extra trip. He looks the main danger. ON THE LOOSE (4) was strong on debut when collared late here but was too bad to be true last time after racing keenly and folding up. A sharp bounce back is on the cards. HANDSOME MISSILE (3) is building well and comes through some solid maidens, though he is likely to give away a big start from the wide draw. He will be hoping they overdo it up front so he can launch late. Similar story for CELESTRA (9), though she has drawn slightly kinder. SUGGESTED PLAY: On The Prowl to win.
