GOING: G(4)

THE LAST POST 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Yes Of Course and Never Sober to take up the running at a strong tempo. NEVER SOBER (1) may have found the extra journey a bridge too far after a good win at Ascot two starts ago. He has the pace to offset the wide alley and while he is up in weights, he does drop substantially in class. The one to beat on recent form. BEAUTIFUL BAROQUE (6) just missed here 17 days ago over 1940m and was a dominant winner of a Cl2 at this track back on March 31. She's a solid mare at this level and she looks well placed at the weights. Can storm over the top of them again as she did two starts ago. DIVINE MERCY (3) found a couple better over 2100m last time out and drops right back to the mile now. Chris Parnham riding is a positive sign and his recent figures suggest he should be right in the finish. YES OF COURSE (9) has had troubles with this trip in the past, but he's in solid form and can make every post a winner. BENTLEY BEAU (2) will appreciate the drop in grade and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Never Sober in the last.

The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Ascot Cl5 March 29 over 1600m defeating My Fury with 57.5kg at $6. Plenty to like about his prospects.
