GOING: H(10)

SIMS BAKERY 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

Solid tempo with Bodleian leading from Pure Artist and Radiant Lass. CELTIC BLING (7) has been second in three of her last four starts. The filly is looking for the 1400m here. Can win this. PURE ARTIST (4) has run well in both of his starts so far. Drawn out again but has speed so can cope. Quinella and trifecta chance here. LATENIGHT GALAXY (3) has not been too bad this time in. Twice placed so knows how to weigh in. Cannot be omitted. RADIANT LASS (9) the mare has been placed in all her runs this time in and that includes once here. She can handle dry and wet footing. Impossible to overlook in this field. BODLEIAN (2) led up on debut and ran over into a good second. Wide draw. Should try to press over early but is in a race that has decent speed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Celtic Bling is the one to beat. Lot of respect for Pure Artist.
