GOING: G

CHARITY MILE 1 NOVEMBER MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)    

Plenty of pace from Harper's Way, Hanifah and Cool Reggae matching motors ahead of A Bit Of Class. ASIAH'S TIARA (2) ran a fair race in her comeback run over 1450m on this course. She tries the blinkers which should keep her mind on the task at hand. Will strip much fitter and she would not be a shock winner. HOPSCOTCH (9) challenged strongly over 2000m last time, but found one too good ion the day. She drops back in distance and with Muzi Yeni retaining the ride, she merits healthy respect. A BIT OF CLASS (7) ran a decent race on debut over 1160m on the Standside course. She would have come on from the run and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she should be right there at the finish. GOLDEN ALEXIA (1) ran a fair race over 1400m on the Standside course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She will be at peak fitness and can place.
