GOING: G(4)

Programmed Maintenance BM56 Handicap 2400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

Off the low draw Aberlutely has enough speed to lead the way in the absence of a recognised leader. PRINCE OF BYRON (8) put in a much better effort third up, coming back to this grade after two duck eggs to start the campaign. Put the writing on the wall there and fourth up to 2400m should be perfect. POWER PIVOT (6) was just fair over this trip in a tougher race last time out but had been knocking on the door prior with two runner-up efforts. He'll prove hard to hold out. ABERLUTELY (14) is racing well without winning but has placed in her past three. Turns around quickly here and will be up on speed giving a sight. CHATEAU DANCER (11) can mix her form a bit but won her maiden dominantly two back before an even effort here last time on heavy. Back on firmer footing should suit. NORTH TERRACE (5) is coming along well and should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Of Byron on top.
