GOING: S(7)

FORSYTH BARR MILE 1600m

Track: SOFT7     Out 4m  

The race pace looks solid in this field to end the days racing here. IFFIN DOUBT DANCE (9) is a big chance here second up after a reasonable run resuming. Mile proven too. She can take this out for sure. LERADO (1) is a trifecta and first four must plus he handles most types of footing too. Include him in all of your combinations here. VISTOWN (10) produced a good run fresh up for fourth. Wet ground suits him best. Wide gate but she is still a must include for all of your multiples. ASGARD (6) class riser but he deadset revelled in the wet ay his last start to win by daylight. Wide gate. Much improved. SORGHAGHTANI (8) is a class riser but has more wins in store. May not be just a wet tracker. SUGGESTED PLAY: Iffin Doubt Dance is a win wager.
