GOING: S(5)

Cup Eve Calcutta - Sporties Hotel Feb 25 Maiden 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 4.72).  

From the wide draw Foreign Legion can cross and set up a solid tempo. Tough. PHERE THE GIRLS (11) is third-up and went close on the synthetic last time. She can use the rails gate and Pires is reunited. In an in-form yard and is ready to win. LOVE NEST (9) was narrowly beaten twice at Hobart before a close-up effort on the synthetic. Maps okay and gets in well with the 2kg claim. She's a decent chance. FOREIGN LEGION (1) has threatened all preparation and is holding the form. Prefer him back on the turf and to a sprint. Has the speed to manage the wide gate and Newitt is a key jockey switch replacing the 2kg apprentice. LIGHTMEUPJAZZ (8) should be ready to show more and her best synthetic form would see her around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Phere The Girls.
