GOING: S(6)

AIB/ARA BUILDING SERVICES MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +6m 1100m-W/Post, +3m Remainder.  

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. PRINCE HARRISON (1) did plenty right last campaign and strolled home in a big trial win recently. Bold jump and run effort expected. MOTHER GOOSE (5) gets another chance out to a more suitable trip. Poorly drawn but has more to offer third up. BABYFACED ASSASSIN (3) has netted provincial placings in two of three starts. Drawn to give this a real shake. MIND BENDER (7) held her margin well on debut to go with two previous trials. Plenty of natural improvement to come. MAID OF MOOLAH (4) peaks third up and comes via a handy form reference last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Harrison each-way. Box quinella 1,5,7.
