GOING: S(7)

SKY RACING Class 2 Handicap 1650m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.30)  

Solid tempo with West Cork leading from Connecticut and Tuff Tu Mus. TUFF TU MUS (1) hasn't done much wrong with two wins and two seconds from four starts to commence the career and strikes a very winnable contest here. Callow sticks on board to navigate from the sticky draw and rates the testing material against this lot. CARTWHEELS (3) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Should be at her peak now third-up and looms as the main danger. The well-related WEST CORK (4) (half to G1 winner Qafila) got a well-deserved victory in dominant fashion at Ipswich and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Can go right on with the job now. CONNECTICUT (2) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tuff Tu Mus to win again.
