GOING: G(4)

SKYRACING.TV PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP HEAT 1420m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 6m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from Looks leading Well Played. BLUE LAGOON (1) needed it at Ascot first up but brought compelling form to that including close-up efforts there in Listed and Group company. Has the rail and handy 3kg claim and with the extra fitness will prove hard to beat. FORTUNE'S LUCK (3) has been knocking on the door at Ascot at a better level. Maps for a soft run and CJP stays aboard. She's a player on a 6-day turnaround. WELL PLAYED (4) will ride the speed and has threatened here twice since recording a hat-trick of wins. She's sure to give a sight. HAMMARMILL (2) would be some hope measured on the win here two back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Lagoon appeals most.
