GOING: S(6)

CONNECT KIDS Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Eight Cylinders has enough pace to take up the running from his wide draw in a low-pressure affair. QUALITY MISS (8) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory with two runner-up finishes this preparation and this is not an overly strong affair. Drawn to take a forward position from gate two and can go one better against this lot. FASHION FLASH (13) showed ability placing over this track and trip on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Pay to follow. LIKE SMOKE (21) has hit the top-four at his past four outings and looks to be nearing a maiden victory. Keep safe. TURN THE CORNER (4) has placed over this journey and must be respected from the Gollan camp. SCOTTVILLE SCOOTER (15) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quality Miss to break the maiden status.
