GOING: S

ROLY & PHILLIPA ELLIS 2200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Many here are jumpers and a vast majority are old too so this field will be broken up well before the home turn. JESKO (3) class dropper. Second in a trial last month. Placed in both fresh-up runs. Should win. ALL IN BLACKBERRY (6) has been placed in two of the last three runs. Quinella and trifecta must no matter the footing. INVISIBLE SPIRIT (4) is a jumper but has come up super on the flat so far. Has won third up. HURRY CANE (2) still has enough flat ability to be a chance here. Wet tracker. LORD SPENCER (9) needed fresh up run. Has won second up. Wet tracker. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jesko is a win wager.
