Chepstow Race 2 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Nursery
DOWMAN (2) Tidy run when 2nd last start at Yarmouth and solid career start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Goes up in weight. Looks a winning hope. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (4) Finished 4th last time at Beverley. Is capable of a resurgence and putting a tidy record together so far. In the placings on multiple occasions this preparation. Could be value. ARD AS A ROCK (5) Came in 4th last run at Beverley. Has the potential to improve sharply. Expecting to settle positively. Goes close. PJ'S CORNER (6) Claimed a tight victory last run at Leicester and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Likely to be well placed early. Well placed and has solid claims.

Odds of $2.38 and finished 4th last run at Beverley. Has the potential to improve sharply. Has shown early pace in races to date. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.

Secured the win by a slim margin last run at Leicester and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has plenty of early speed. Definite claims.

Started at $101.00 and below par when 14th last start at Goodwood but facing weaker opposition. Will appreciate a good draw. Going up in weight. Entitled to be big odds.
