GOING: G(4)

Big Swing Golf Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Delicious Tycoon has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. Tricky race to kick things off. DELICIOUS TYCOON (4) might be ready to fire now out to a mile. The run two back at Sandown behind Zaszou reads well and if she brings her best, she'll be very hard to catch. IGOTCHA (1) has won her past couple nicely and has to be respected in her current form. FAREWELL TO EIRE (5) is progressive and was good behind Igotcha at Moe last time. She's lightly raced and can turn the tables. SEVILLANA (6) maps for a soft trail and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delicious Tycoon on top.
