ONE MILE, ONE FURLONG about 35 YARDS (9f abt 35yds) (1800m)
Fourth Race
7.30 p.m. THE PDM BUILDBASE SCOTLAND MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 5)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This one mile and one furlong contest for three-year-olds and upwards is another maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory. There are a variety of reasons why the older horses in this race could still be maidens. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career.

BETTING FORECAST: 7-4 Jebel Dukhan (IRE),
9-2 Alfayaath (USA), 5-1 Alyara (GB), 7-1 Vision of Victory (IRE), 18-1 Neverwrongforlong (GB), 20-1 Tristan da Cunha (IRE), 22-1 Green Believer (GB), 33-1 Bella Bluesky (GB), 66-1 Platinumcard (IRE), 100-1 Gaolbreaker (IRE), 150-1 Dark Eclipse (IRE), Fairyworld (USA) RACE SUMMARY: JEBEL DUKHAN proved to be a disappointment on his handicap/turf debut at Doncaster 11 days ago, mustering only a fifth-placed finish and looking a shade awkward in the process. More severe headgear is reached for and Sir Mark Prescott’s colt is worth another chance upped in trip. Vision of Victory possibly needed the run last time so she’s feared most, ahead of Alfayaath. 1-2-3: 1.JEBEL DUKHAN (IRE) 2.VISION OF VICTORY (IRE) 3.ALFAYAATH (USA)
