GOING: S

Colonel Sybil Irving MBE 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Liberty State taking charge. LIBERTY STATE (9) couldn't have been much more impressive in her past two starts, winning by a cumulative 12.5 lengths. Up in grade again but looks one that can continue through the ranks and win again. POIFECT (10) resumed with a strong run at Sandown-Lakeside, finishing second when beaten narrowly. Fitter for the rise in trip and her form last time in was very promising. INTREPID EAGLE (5) has run second in his past two efforts and the horses to have beaten him are strong benchmarks. Looks well-placed again and should be competitive. ZAMBORGHINI (2) is fresh for this. The third to Another Wil two starts back is very good form. This looks a good trip for him. HARD TO CROSS (4) can resume with a good run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Liberty State to win again.
