|---|---|---|---|---|

There looks to be decent pace and pressure in this Maiden event over 1200m. BALLON D'OR (9) is a multiple class dropper here after last start miss at Listed level. He meets all Maidens here. Looks the winner no matter if dry or wet ground is on offer. HAUGHTY (4) has an ace draw. Debut second in May was a sound run. Quinella and trifecta must in this field. TIKAANI (1) has been placed in his last three runs before being spelled. He can handle it dry or wet too. Trifecta and first four must. ON THE TOWN (11) is an improver on his debut effort. Wide draw. Chance for a place or fourth here. ROCKY BALBOA (2) was a trial second late last month so is forward enough to resume. Place or first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ballon D'or is a win wager.
