GOING: N

TRACK & BALL GAMING MR 86 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 25)    

Except Temptation, Longsword and Down By The River to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. DIANI (9) rates well in this line-up following a last start fourth of nine over 1200 at Greyville when well supported. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of nine he should be right there at the finish. MR HENLEY (11) stayed on well when finishing third of nine over this distance on the turf last time. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. He is likely to race up on the speed after jumping from the widest draw and should prove hard to peg back. MUSIC IS LIFE (4) finished eighth last start at Greyville over 1200m after having finished second in his previous start. Expected to go close. YAMADORI (10) resumes from a spell and it's worth noting that he filled a placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Kenilworth. Sure to make his presence felt and is a must include in exotic bets.
