GOING: G

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 1000m-W/Post, True Remainder. Sectional 604m. (Pent: 5.38)  

Fast pace assured with Sir Leapalot, Been Our Angel and Wadaana leading the charge. SIR NOW (3) has been denied narrowly in both runs back but should be peaking now on the quick back-up over a favoured track and trip. Drawn to advantage and is the one to beat. BEEN OUR ANGEL (2) has good early speed and strips rock-hard fit. Expect him to spear across from his draw and give backers a sight. WADAANA (9) kept finding here last start in a brave pillar-to-post success. Can give some cheek. MAZOVIA (6) will appreciate a solid early tempo and can be launching late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sir Now. Saving on Mazovia.
