Better Solar (Bm58) 2200m Track: GOOD 4 Showers Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.14). |

---|---|---|---|---|
Early speed can come from Supaconi and Time To Sail. Doesn't look like being a brutal test at the trip. Standard middle distance event for this level and not a lot of pace engaged. Supaconi and Black Soul are most likely to be on the speed and perhaps Skyfire goes forward from wide out. Open race. AMORTISE is getting close to a win and drops in class on an eye-catching second-up effort at Sandown. Will need the breaks in running but go well. SHAMPION is likely to get back in the field from an outside gate and she's also close to a win after three runs back. Ran on well last time and should do so again. PROSPECTOR has struck some form with placings at his last couple and is in the mix. Supaconi is down in class and look for a much improved showing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shampion off what looks a good set up.
