GOING: N

SWAN DRAUGHT MAIDEN 1275m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

The Agency to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. THE AGENCY (1) peaks and the colt is busting to win. Has a handy barrier and will position forward. The 3kg claim brings him right into it. RECONNAISSANCE (9) resumes gelded and his two trials at Lark Hill have been sharp. Fiore sticks from those and his debut effort at Ascot suggested better things to come. AUTHORATIVE (3) resumes and he missed narrowly here on the turf his last three outings. He gives away starts but finds a winnable assignment if presented on song. COSTA STAR (7) has been struggling to find her best and Fiore gets off. Regardless, Brad Parnham rides and she goes into the trifecta. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to The Agency.
