GOING: G(4)

JAMIE RUSSELL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Eye Of The Fire. WATCH MY GIRL (4) is a consistent filly who was strong to the line first up. Cops another tricky draw but has the right form to run well. MOGWAI (1) drops sharply in grade for this assignment coming off two solid trials. Proven fresh and set to give this a shake first up. EYE OF THE FIRE (3) is doing plenty right in just two starts and makes his own luck. Third up can run another bold race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watch My Girl each way.
