GOING: G

Russ Studio Jewellers BM58 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.61).  

A few can be handy in what looks an evenly run race. Open race. NUDGE 'EM ALONG (6) is a consistent type who was only beaten narrowly at Donald last time out. Draws well and should prove competitive again. TRAK CHILLER (12) resumes. She ran in some better races than this last time in and wasn't far away. Declan Bates booked to ride is a good lead. MAGIC BERTIE (1) won at Kyneton last time out and can measure up. THREE GRAND (7) was in the market first up and can improve with that run under the belt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nudge 'Em Along to win.
