GOING:

GALLOP TV YOUTUBE CHANNEL OPEN MAIDEN 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)    

Strong tempo with Forest Drum, O Space O and Dee Day leading the way. DANCING ON A CLOUD (2) produced an eye-catching run on debut effort over 1400m on this course last start when well supported. He took time to find his feet that day but ran on well at the finish. He would have gained from the experience and should like the rise to 1600m. With the natural improvement that is expected should be the one to beat. O SPACE O (7) produced a typical second run after a rest last time. His penultimate run when second over this course and distance catches the eye. He is having his peak run today and may be hard to peg back. GREEN MILE (4) should have finished closer last time as he had to change ground with 500m to run. He has placed in four of his last five starts and from a good draw of four rates well as a leading chance. DEE DAY (10) is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the wide draw without using up too much energy. She should give the males a run for their money and is well worth considering.
