GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Up For Chall. (Bm84) 1440m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 13m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.19).  

Looks a solid tempo and Master Reset look the most likely to take it up. Master Reset can roll forward. Well short of best trip for Cool Chap but no shock to see them positive with him fresh given there are few on speed options engaged. Nice option for SOVEREIGN NATION first up from a break. Even effort in the Derby when last seen. He was good early in the prep over shorter distances and this is the easiest race he has contested for some time. SHILLELAGH was good without a lot of luck first up. Step up in trip is going to be a big plus for her and she looks nailed on to be winning races this campaign. MANHATTAN BLUES has been racing well at a similar level without a lot of luck. Gets the breaks here and he should be right around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Play multiples around Sovereign Nation, Shillelagh and Lucky Paddy.
