GOING: S(5)

JANET FRANCIS RATING 65 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

There is assured pace and pressure in this big field over 1400m from barrier rise. RUBICON REIGNS (6) is racing super. Wide draw. Winning rider atop. VICTOR ROUGE (3) was not too bad at last start. Won his prior race. Trial winner before that. HELLY BELLY (9) fresh up run for a new stable was good. Has won and placed second up. DANGEROUS LIAISONS (15) chance here. Won her Maiden second up. SASSMAN (7) not too bad an effort fresh up. He had backing too. Trifecta and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rubicon Reigns and Helly Belly are win wagers.
