GOING: N

Horses n more C2 Hcp 1350m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Coal River leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. Even race with plenty of win chances. BAYSIDE (2) was strong fresh then a little off best here last time when fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Drops in weight and fitter again. Goes well here and worth another try. COAL RIVER (3) is rarely far away and although beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth here last time that was in a Class 4. Back a couple of notches and off the inside can atone. HARTMAN (4) is another speed influence in the race. Winner here and with the claim will take catching. MANHATTAN NIGHTS (5) is a handy type resuming and might want further in time but goes very well here and will be winding up late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bayside can atone.
