GOING: G

Bet365 (Bm58) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.38).  

Galileo’s Journey the likely leader. One of the smallest fields of the day and hard to find a leader. BARMAID FROM WYE ran on well two back then covered ground latest but still placed. Close to a win and looks hard to beat. LARA'S WEB has placed two of last three and is overdue for a win. Drawn wide but should be prominent and rates highly here. CLASSIC PORT is ready to win after three runs back, the latest placing after running into traffic on the turn. ROSS'S POINT will be better over further but is up to this class and should run well fresh. Each way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: LIke the selected order and will play trifectas with them.
