Saddle Up With Crawf & The Crew, Your Racing Podcast Maiden 1420m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m 1200m-W/Post; +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.40)  

The speedy Foreign Legion should find the front with Ellisphere and Bunker Bob on his heels. BUNKER BOB (1) resumes here with a nose defeat over 1200m and is further improved. He rode the speed off a wide gate and he jumps from the rail today. Fitter the 1400m shouldn't prove an issue. FOREIGN LEGION (2) has been busting to win and was beaten 1.3L here last time over this trip. Has a key gear switch and is worth another chance. BILLIE THE GREAT (13) missed 1L here having her second race outing and can build on that. She has the advantage of an inside barrier. AFFAIROFTHEHEART (6) resumes with a 2kg claim. Will race over further but has ability and has to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Bunker Bob.
