GOING: S

Sbg Building Group (Bm70) 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54).  

Bit of speed around without any obvious leaders. Dylanson has some early speed but Sunday Pray probably heads him. Written Attraction, Hard Empire and Lochend Ocky have wide gates and probably look to slide forward too. SUNDAY PRAY comes off an easy win at Sandown and tackles a similar sort of race here. Extra 100m is no concern and he's going to take beating. LIGHT 'N' FIRE is close to his peak after two runs back and showed improvement second-up though beaten by a handy one. Go well. WRITTEN ATTRACTION is flying through the grades at the moment with three wins on end this time in. Hard to leave her out. Lochend Ocky looks the other serious contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sunday Pray off a strong win.
