GOING: S(6)

HYGAIN MAIDEN STAYERS 2200m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5.5m from the 1400m to 400m, Then cutaway from 400 to finish at 3m  

Solid tempo with Mountain Of Light leading from Islebefine and Speed Dial. SPEED DIAL (9) is ready to tackle middle distance and this looks an ideal race for the 4yo mare. She is a win chance here for certain. MOUNTAIN OF LIGHT (4) was not too bad at his last start. Well drawn in this and is a quinella and trifecta must. YUNGBLUD (1) was a distant second at his last start. He is a trifecta and first four chance in this field. ISLEBEFINE (10) was a distant third here at her last start. Can lead or race close and will give a sight here no matter what the footing is presented today. PIRATES 'N' GOLD (5) has been course placed on dry ground. He is a multiple must in this field for bettors. SUGGESTED PLAY: Speed Dial is a win wager.
