MORE FM MAIDEN 1200M 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 9m from 1400m to 900m, remainder out 6m  

Explode and Maria Pilar should set a strong clip. DE RUSSIAN ROCKET (1) was beaten a nostril at last start. He has been seven times placed and one of them came here. Has run well in six of seven starts this time in so far. Can handle all types of footing. One to beat. EXPLODE (2) ran a good second on debut when beaten 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Riverton. He can only get better with racing. Full brother to Me Liberez (2 wins). Drawn well and cannot be excluded. RED STAR BELLA (7) she is fresh up in this and drawn the ace. The filly has run well in her last two starts for a new yard. Not out of this for all of your wagers. MARIA PILAR (9) led up on debut and fought well. Her only other run since was just fair. Include her everywhere in this. EKSTATIQUE (8) has not been too bad this time in since resuming for a new yard. Place or first four hope on wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: De Russian Rocket can surely get a well-deserved win this time.
