GOING: S

Racing 4 Change BM64 Handicap 1212m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Georgie Get Mad and Steel Jimmy to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. SNIPPETY LEGEND (11) didn't have the best of luck on resumption at Sandown-Lakeside in a handy BM70 when fourth, beaten 2.9 lengths. He drops in grade for this and showed good ability last time in at Stakes level. Should go close. ETINCELLE (12) is a lightly raced 3yo gelding who had excuses when beaten at odds-on on debut here before atoning with a good win at Sandown-Lakeside. Shows promise and can win again. VIENNA VIXEN (10) is racing well and should take some beating again. GEORGIE GET MAD (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snippety Legend to win.
