GOING: FM(2)

RDO EQUIPMENT HANDICAP 1350m

Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

The Final Word, Dummy Spit and Starton can set a good tempo. DUMMY SPIT (2) came from off the pace to win here just last week. Assuming he runs this out strongly, there is every chance he goes back to back. He does look well placed again. THE FINAL WORD (3) has run favourite his last couple. Probably better suited to be sitting back and running on. This is definitely his right sort of trip. MAGIC DEFENSE (1) held her ground in a similar race seven days ago. She is a pretty consistent type of mare. TWISTED TRICKSTER (5) is getting closer to win. Has been taking on much bigger fields of late. STARTON (4) can be a bit up and down but capable of running a race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking Dummy Spit again.
