GOING: G(4)

MIKE FRASER-JONES @ BAYLEYS 2200m

Track: GOOD3     Out 7.5m  

Moderate tempo with Honor Mission leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. RELIABLE SQUEEZE (4) was a warm favourite when finishing second on this track nearly a month ago in an average lineup. This field is similar, and she is set to go one better, so follow your money. HONOR MISSION (6) improved quickly second up to finish runner-up by a short-head here 11 days ago. She has more upside than most in this field, and she will be very hard to hold out. CHICFLIX (5) has had many chances to break through, but just doesn't have the killer blow. She is honest and fit, so stick with her. MAGEE (1) was passively ridden in the run home here 11 days ago and ran on to finish fourth. Expect a more positive ride this time, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. SARRACINA (7) likes this track, and her recent form has been on wet tracks. She meets a modest field, and is worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magee one more chance for a top 3 finish.
