GOING: G(3)

SHORE LEAVE FESTIVAL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Despite the wide draw Wojtek should cross and set a genuine tempo. WELL PLAYED (1) has gone from strength to strength since making the move out to the country and she has won 4 of her 7 starts on this track, including 3 on the bounce in March. She tried her heart out when finishing third last time out after making most of the running. A 3-kilo claim will help and with a good run from a handy draw, she will be hard to beat again. FIRST CONTACT (8) ran a better race for fourth in her penultimate run and then franked that form with a last-gasp win by a nose here nearly 3 weeks ago. Her confidence is back and she can win again. SPIRIT MAN (2) was too far back last start and couldn't make an impression. His form before that was heading the right way and if the tempo is genuine in this, he can make his presence felt. He is worth another chance at some value. MAKE MINE SUPER (4) broke through for an overdue win in his penultimate run and as so often happens when the penny drops, he won again last time out. The hat-trick is not beyond him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Well Played to win.
