A solid tempo on the cards with Wind Talker taking charge. FULLA GRACE (5) was just beaten fresh up. Looks a winner in waiting. Logical victor of this field and will be odds on. SIDE PIECE (1) has been four times placed so he knows how to weigh in. Wet tracker. Quinella and trifecta must here. SHINAGAWA (8) is a Jo Rathbone-trained four-year-old mare lining up for debut. Won a recent trial at Foxton. Chance here without a doubt. JAMAICAN BOY (2) was not too bad an effort on debut. The rise to 1650m here helps and rain-affected footing will assist too. Chance for third or fourth in this field undoubtedly. WIND TALKER (11) was better at her last start. Logical improver and in an astute yard Will be at overs in this line up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fulla Grace is a win wager.
