GOING: H(8)

JONES TRUCKING 1400m

Track: HEAVY     Out 8m  

The race pace looks decent here from barrier rise so hard to see many breathers being allowed. LITTLE BIT OF LOVE (4) is unbeaten here. Proven on dry and wet ground. Wide gate but gets a 3kg claim here. There is no reason why he cannot keep saluting. NEIGHBOURHOOD (8) was a last-start second here to the top pick in this. Has won on dry and wet footing. Top tier must in this for sure. MALBOROUGH BAY (10) is a class riser here . Drops 3kg. Definite danger to the top two for your multiples. SIR STERLING (2) is racing super of late. Dual winner here. Wide gate. Has won on dry and wet. Ticks all betting boxes. URBAN MYTH (3) has been racing well in his last three runs. Has won on dry and wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Bit Of Love and Neighbourhood are win wagers.
