GOING: G

BT Daley Painting Contractors WFA 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Lots of speed predominantly from Brat and Great Buy. GREAT BUY (3) has been in rock solid form this campaign and tried hard when finishing runner-up here nearly 2 weeks ago. The wide draw is no help but he is always an each-way hope on this course. KERIOTH (4) progressed to open company with back-to-back BM76 wins here, the most recent 3 weeks ago when scoring by nearly 2 lengths. He has joined the Gary Clarke Darwin stable and is carrying his carded weight this time but is reunited with Jarrod Todd. A hat-trick is within sight. BRAT (1) dropped back in grade and immediately hit winning form with an easy all-of-the-way win here last time out. He has a terrific record here over this trip and now that his confidence has returned, he can win again. NOBLE MAGNATE (6) made a winning track debut in lesser company 3 days ago and if he does back up, he is a winning chance again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brat each way.
