GREEN FENCING PH 027 450 0911 1600m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace here looks okay overall in this Mile event. BLOOD DIAMOND (7) is a course riser after an easy last-start win and can salute again for sure. On pacer of late so takes bad luck out of the equation. Senior rider on this time too. CHOUX MACHER (6) has been a runner-up in three of his last five runs. He is a quinella and trifecta must in this field. ALBATROSS (1) she has not gone a poor race in ages. Proven on dry and wet footing. No negative here for bettors. RIVIERA REBEL (2) was a game run fresh up. He handles it dry and wet too. Cannot be overlooked here. AYREON (3) was a game placing fresh up. Good course record overall. Ace gate. Winning senior rider atop. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blood Diamond is a win wager.
