GOING: G(3)

IRON JACK MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Martos Cob, Look Here Punk and Ginger Jive to control the tempo. LIPS DON'T LIE (6) ran a couple of good races last spring when trained in South Australia and resumed with a solid run for eighth at Ascot nearly 3 weeks ago. She will find it easier in the country and with the expected improvement second-up, she is the one to beat. VALAGO (2) might have found 1400 metres beyond him here last time out and is better suited to the shorter trips for now. He will be peaking third up and this field is not strong at all. He has a good draw and can figure in the finish this time. SONIC RULER (11) finished just in front of the top pick in the same race at Ascot last start. She has a handy gate and is worth including in all combinations. MARTOS COB (3) came to the end of his run at the distance last time out at York and will strip a lot fitter second-up. He is one of many first four chances in a race that lacks any real depth. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lips Don't Lie to win.
