Merry Christmas BM68 Hcp 1880m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Original Glaze a potential leader. ORIGINAL GLAZE (3) led and won a 76 three back over a mile and has threatened at 68 level since. Settled back last time and improved her numbers. Has a handy 3kg claim, and on what we saw last time the extra metres won't bother. NIGHT INVADER (2) drops back 220m seeking the hat-trick. She has more to offer and should be right in it. GOLDEN PROPHET (1) found a place second up over 2000m and will be better for it. Comes back in grade and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. TUSKEGEE (5) was plainer last time but his two efforts prior read well enough. Has Bingley's 2kg claim and he can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Original Glaze.
