Down Royal Race 7

Eventco Marquees Maiden

Stake: $21,919

BOXING GREAT (2) resumes from a spell of 11-months. Rates highly on first start for a new yard following a sound fourth over 2100m at Dundalk AW. FIRST ASCENT (3) recorded consecutive placings. Finds a suitable contest to go one better following a narrow second tackling 2100m at this venue. ARCTIC BRESIL (1) proved a smart hurdler. Could have an impact making flat debut. Not dismissed. STARIAM (7) can fill fourth spot.

Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at this track 4yo+ Mdn Sw on June 22 over 2615m, 2.25 len behind Magical Zoe with 59kg at $7.50. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.
