GOING: G(4)

ARROWFIELD MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +5m 800m-400m, True Remainder Cutaway Applies . (Pent: 4.90)  

Expecting Cup Of Ambition to lead Rush Fortyfive at just a moderate tempo. PHAZED (10) handy mare resuming from a lengthy break. Finished off strongly when third to Hooligan Tommy over 1600m here on August 30. Fitted with the two trials and should get the necessary tempo. Goes close. BRILLIANT KNIGHT (5) Dundeel gelding who showed enough on debut over the unsuitable trip when fourth over 1200m at Tamworth. Will drift back from the wide gate and launch late. CUP OF AMBITION (9) not a bad run last start when fourth at this track over 900m. Each-way. CALL ME MAGNIFIQUE (6) stepping out for his first race start. Trial form has been reasonable and respect any market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,5,9,6.
