GOING: F

THE LAST POST FFA MOBILE PACE 1980m

Track: FAST      

VESSEM (6) continued a strong run of recent form and registered another win last time out, scoring by 3 metres over 1980m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. BEACH BALL (5) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 2600m. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can add to the impressive recent record. WISH ME LUCK (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1980m at this track last time out. Each way value. WHO'S DELIGHT (4) will be suited by the small field and must be considered after he finished third over 1980m at this track two weeks ago.
