GOING: G

Jim Beam Hcp (C2) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 4m 1400m - WP. Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.43).  

Speed to come from Vouch For Me. Another big field means there will be pace on here. TE AMO should be able to slot in from the draw because of that. She has done that twice of late for wins. Looks the same set up here for an in form filly. VOUCH FOR ME will be onto the pace himself if he runs in this. He has turned the corner the last few. Might be stronger this time in too. NATCH ran a good race this class two weeks back. Most of his runs are competitive. Can handle any going as well. STAR ROCK is a big watch resuming. They have claimed on him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Te Amo for the win.
