GOING: G(3)

Millbrook Homes (Bm60) 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Showers   Rail: Out 3m 1300m-W/Post, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.8).  

Speed anticipated from Hinch, Bright Future, Sacred Journey, Tilly's Waltz, Giant's Daughter and Cheeky Bella. An open race to close with and tempo should be upbeat with Tilly's Waltz, Hinch and Bright Future all on the hustle and hurry early. YOUR WITNESS comes into this peaking third up. Came with a blousing run second up to claim victory in the same grade and this looks his breakout preparation. Drawn to have a major say once more. GIANT'S DAUGHTER continues her fruitful campaign and must be taken seriously with two wins in her last two outings. Slightly up in grade but the form from her last three runs should stand up well in this line up. Plenty to like. BRIGHT FUTURE is well placed in this grade and is a very consistent on pace galloper. Placed in country grade last start and is rock hard fit. Has a cracking record at this type of trip and looks up to challenging these. Hot Pistol warrants a second look back in grade here. Placed two of three times at this journey and all three runs this time in have been respectable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to side with Big Albert on the each-way.
