GOING:

RACECOURSE HOTEL & MOTOR LODGE RATING 65 1600m

Track: AW     True  

Strong tempo with Rule Of Law and In Awe leading from Hammer Time and Ardour. RULE OF LAW (4) he has a wide draw here but still looks the winner in this lineup. Placed in all four of his runs here and has not ran a bad race in ages. DELMONICO (1) twice placed here so far. Drawn wide but he can cope. He is a quinella and trifecta must here in this field. ARDOUR (7) the mare is course proven. Has run well enough here and is a must include in all of your multiples. SONNET (8) is a course winner fresh up. Drawn okay here too. Trifecta and first four must in this for bettors. PRINCESS TERESA (9) has placed in two of three runs here. Drawn out but still a multiples must for your combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rule Of Law is a win wager in this last race of the meeting.
