Kenilworth Race 3 - Join The Magic Maiden Plate
OCTOBER STORM (1) is an unraced son of Vercingetorix from the Vaughan Marshall stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. If not in need of the run, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. DIGBY (7) is lightly raced with decent form lines to his name. He is having his peak run and rates well as a leading chance. IKO IKO (6) has finished second in his last two starts over this course and distance. He is in a good space and in this line-up must be considered. MAGICAL PLACE (5) is a two-year-old colt by What A Winter out of Namibia set to debut for the Eric Sands stable. Watch the late betting market to get a better guide with regards to his winning chances.
