GOING: H(9)

GRAND CASINO RATING 75 1200M 1200m

Track: HEAVY 9     True  

Plenty of pace established by Forever Babe, Miss Brittany and Rochello, with Foreign Affair close at hand. SIR STERLING (2) runs for a new stable now. He is proven at the 1200m. His best form would be winning this. Each-way no matter the footing on offer in this line-up. BALZANO (1) he is a wet tracker resuming here. Sure to have good backing in this and is a quinella and trifecta must. MISS BRITTANY (5) is much better than her last start shows. Dual course winner. Include the mare everywhere you can in this field. ROCHELLO (6) produced a form reversal to win at her last start. Chance again in the same grade here as the mare is only up 1kg. NOBELLEM (4) produced a better run at her last start. Always a place and first four chance in these sorts of fields. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Sterling is a win wager.
