GOING: S(7)

WINTER RACE DAY 5TH JUNE 1600m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 9.5m  

The race pace here looks not too bad in the Maiden Mile to end the days racing here. SABOTS D'OR (13) was a good run fresh up and had a some backing too so is a logical improver. Drawn to be winning this for sure. SASSY LASS (10) has been twice placed and the latest one came at her last start. Trifecta and first four chance in this for sure. SAISHO (9) was a good run resuming here. Wide draw in this but is still an include. INCREDIBLE (1) has gone good runs in both starts this campaign including once here. Wide draw but still a multiples threat. STEP IN TIME (3) has been not too bad fresh up. Definite improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sabots D'or and Saisho are win wagers.
