GOING: S

bet365 BM58 Handicap 1618m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.48)  

Where Ya Bean and Rushford to take it up. MISS BARILOCHE (10) found close to her best beaten a whisker at Ararat. Peaks now and maps for the run of the race. Coffey rides for the first time, and that's a positive switch. RUSHFORD (9) went close at Seymour 7 days ago, improving again. He also draws well and will get every chance to go one better. COSMIC COCO (3) has been knocking on the door and is good enough if things go his way. MANDARA SUN (11) turned the form around with a big win at Sale. Just has to hold that form to feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Miss Bariloche.
