GOING: S(5)

Island Coast Spirits Class 4 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 4.47)  

Without a recognised leader, Sandual and Global Awareness will likely set the pace. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (6) brings two 1L defeats here and will hit the race at peak fitness. The top hoop is reunited, and ha won twice on the mare. She gets in well at the weights and can go one better. JUST A NEEDS (3) peaks, and she also rates well. Just missed this grade last time and never runs a bad one. Has decent claims. LI'L HAIL MARY (4) also finished close up in that contest and maps well. She's finding it hard to win, all the same. GLOBAL AWARENESS (7) was plain in the same race, but had been around the mark prior. Maps well and isn't out of it. SANDUAL (1) tries hard but needs to lift. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fiorente De Legend.
