GOING: FM

RICHARD SIMPSON CONTRACTING 1000m

Track: AW     True  

There is good pace here in this 1000m dash so hard to see any breathers being allowed. DRIFTIN (6) she won fresh up last campaign. Trial winner last month so is very ready to resume. She can claim down to 54kg here too so ticks betting boxes galore. DISCOVERY BAY (1) is very consistent and rarely runs a bad race. Wide draw but he can cope. Include everywhere here. SEAMSEW (2) won his Maiden fresh up on the Synthetic at Cambridge. Easier field here than his last three runs. Definite chance. SHOWBASTIAN COE (7) showed good improvement at his last start. Has placed when third up. Cannot be omitted in this field. ALFRISTON (4) is proven fresh up. Ace gate. Easier field here than last three runs. He is a threat for sure so keep an eye on the tote. SUGGESTED PLAY: Driftin and Seamsew are win wagers.
