GOING: G

WORLD SPORTS BETTING 1900 1900m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 23)   True  

The big field should ensure plenty of early pressure. MUCHO DINERO (6) returned from a spell last start and finished ninth over 1600m at this track. Won his only start last prep and racing in a fitter state today rates highly. FUTURE SWING (3) finished a close-up fourth over 1750m at Scottsville when resuming from a spell last start. Strips fitter and having placed second-up previously has top-three claims. ATTICUS FINCH (1) has been in the market at his last couple of runs since resuming from a spell but failed to fire. He jumps from the inside gate and in a fitter state should be returning to form. WITHOUT QUESTION (5) resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously is well worth a second look.
