GOING: S(6)

TAB 1600m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5m  

Expecting Neffu to take up the running with Buster Shaw and Cuban Revolution close at hand. WIND RUSH (5) was just beaten fresh up. Trial winner prior. One to beat in this line-up no matter what the footing gets posted today. NEFFU (2) showed good improvement at his second start. Drawn well again. Quinella and trifecta must in this field. BILLY BLINX (6) is fresh-up in this. Class dropper here. Dry tracker so far. The footing on offer will be paramount is a win chance here as he has upside galore. GAMBLE (7) has run okay in two of his three runs this time in. Trifecta and first four must here for bettors. BUSTER SHAW (1) is an improver on his fresh-up effort. Well drawn and not out of this at all for your multiples. Will be at overs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wind Rush and Billy Blinx are win wagers.
