GOING: G

Ladbrokes Punter Assist Handicap Div 2 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Suits is expected to lead at a slick tempo. LEAN ON ME (3) has been freshened since leading and being run over late last time. Has a change of rider and over this journey will push forward and take running down. MODS (2) ran a nice race when resuming from a spell over 1100m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.2 lengths. Kept coming and will strip fitter for the extra ground. Meets the winner 3kg better so should be in the finish again. SUITS (1) was the winner in that race, breaking through for his maiden win. Rises 5kg for this and meets Mods 3kg worse but has good speed and will take catching again. VALLEY PRINCE (4) resumes and can run a bold race fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lean On Me worth another chance.
