GOING: G(4)

NEIL TUTTLE MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD     Out 9m to the 1000m  

The race pace looks decent enough in this opening event on the card. ROCA MILE (3) is a multiple-class dropper fresh up here. Trial winner earlier this month. Can score here for sure. LONE SPIRIT (7) two of her three placings have come right here. Well drawn. Top tier must in this field for multiples bettors. TOMMY SHELBY (1) is a Maiden winner in waiting on his form shown so far this time in. Wide draw. Still a must include here in all of your multiples. STOLEN MAGIC (6) has been placed in half her starts tellingly. One of those came here. Must include at her third run for a new stable this time in. GRASSHOPPER (8) is an improver for sure on a fresh-up fourth. Place and first four chance in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roca Mile is a win wager.
