GOING: S(5)

BIRCHFIELD'S GLASS & GLAZING (2023) LTD RATING 65 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 5m  

There is pace galore in this big Maiden Mile field and positions could well be changing regularly. DANGEROUS LIAISONS (13) has a wide draw but is very ready to win. One to beat no matter what the footing comes up here today. PLENTY O' STYLE (4) has had three runs here and is yet to miss paying a dividend. Top tier chance in this on dry or wet ground for sure. TUMUCH (6) has had four runs here for one placing but he has raced much better than that shows. Wide draw. Must include still in all of your combinations. VINDICATOR (1) has a wide gate here. Same class as last start win and up 1.5kg. Chance again for sure. RUBICON REIGNS (5) is course-proven and in fact, he races best here. Wide gate. Chance no matter the footing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dangerous Liaisons and Plenty O' Style are win wagers.
