GOING: SL(8)

G R Kelt Mem. Spring Sprint 1400m

Track: SLOW8   Showers Early   Rail: Out 2.5m.  

Admiral looks the most likely to push forward and take up the lead. Reasonable pace in this but nothing out of the ordinary so will be a tactical affair unless a rider or two decide on a drastic pattern change today. The most impressive winner on either of the first two days of the Triple Crown here was without a doubt GET THAT JIVE. Wins again. PERSUASIVE a trifecta and first four chance in this with a senior rider atop. The 1400m has always been an issue for REILLY LINCOLN but she is more mature now and should cope. Antonio Lombardo has to be in your multiples as can carry weight. Four-time winner at 1400m. New York Minute was a G3 third two runs ago at 53kg versus all comers and incredibly has the same weight here. Deadset thrown in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Play quinella's around Get That Jive and New York Minute.
