GOING: SL(8)

Stella Artois Spec Mdn 1400m

Track: SLOW8   Showers Early   Rail: Out 2.5m.  

Fruition, Royal Ruby, Lucyinrio and Mossomak can all be working forward here and ensuring a solid clip. FRANCALETTA has chalked up two wins from as many career outings, the latest here over 1300m a fortnight ago. The High Chaparral mare should appreciate getting out to a bit more ground here and is largely expected to continue on with things here. DOLCETTO was doing her best work late behind Francaletta, finishing second to her, beaten 2.3 lengths. This looks a race for place money with the unbeaten FRANCALETTA sure to get her hattrick as the extra 100m ideal and only goes up 1kg. She has all the answers for these no matter the footing. The same quinella as last start appears likely with DOLCETTO. He has come back huge this season plus can do extra work in the running and keep coming. ROAD TRIP a visiting maiden down 1.5kg drawn to be a placegetter or in the first four. Finn as a dual winner and down 1kg has to be respected. Lucyinrio has speed and is drawn well so will keep them honest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Straight out Francaletta. She should keep on winning.
