GOING: S(6)

LADBROKES MATES MODE POTS OPEN Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.22)  

Strong tempo assured from Amore Veloce and Beaux Rumble leading the charge. SWISS EXILE (10) has gotten better with each run this time in and will find this assignment easier than recent NSW outings. Can find winning ways. SHA OF GOMER (15) is a two-time winner here and strips fitter second-up from the spell. Top-three contender on best form. CORFE CASTLE (8) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and can trouble the judge. HATCHET (9) rounds out the selections in an open race to close out the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swiss Exile on top.
