GOING: G

Medic Aid Hcp (C1) 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 5m.  

Speed anticipated from Sporthouse Dream, Me 'N' Taz, Round The Point and Sordello. A number like to lead and they will fly along. SARISKA has been heavily-backed the two runs back recording a near-miss and a comfortable win. Can take a sit and rates to go right on with it. SPORTHOUSE DREAM led and was much too good winning the Albany Maiden. Has to cross over but looks capable of going on. MR UNDERCOVER resumes of Listed company and gets the big jockey switch to Pike. Will get a cosy run and should race well. KING LOUIE resumes with the blinkers back on and can play a part with the claim and off the trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on last start winner Sariska.
