GOING: G

Rimfire Energy Handicap Div 2 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. RIVER FROST (1) was a beaten favourite here nearly 2 weeks ago and was probably half a run short with nearly 6 weeks between starts. He has less space between runs this time and was in very good form before his latest effort. Stick with him and follow your money. STELLA BYSTARLIGHT (2) was a consistent maiden before cracking her first win in a similar field to this in her penultimate start. She was runner-up in the same race as the top pick last time out, and another honest effort is likely in this. VITESSE BREEZE (3) is very competitive at this level on this track and won his last start over a mile by 4 lengths. The blinkers are back on for this shorter trip, and he is quite capable of repeating the dose. QUICK RETURN (4) is resuming from a decent spell and usually needs a run before hitting his straps. He has a good draw and is good enough to give this a shake at odds. INCIVILITY (5) has raced his way back into form, and the small field here will suit him. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: River Frost is good enough to make amends and take this out.
