GOING: G(4)

NICK O'LEARY FARRIER 1650m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

The race pace in this Maiden Highweight over 1650m looks modest at best. SANDY LANE (6) produced a good run fresh up and looks strong enough now to clear Maidens. Bred to win more than once too. TOWROPE (1) showed big improvement at last start. Trialling well before debut too. Top tier must here. PHATS (5) sound third fresh up. Rider atop is a big tick. Each-way. LURCH (3) is a definite improver fresh up. Better drawn. HOME RULE (2) dual trial winner so very ready to resume. Tote will be telling. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sandy Lane and Towrope are win wagers. Save on the box quinella of that pair plus Phats.
