GOING: G(4)

DENTON ENGINEERING CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Good early pressure with Evenflow and Draco's Fire to vie for the lead. EVENFLOW (7) has produced early returns in a classy five start career to date. Recent trials have been sharp and drawn to get all the favours. Winning return on the cards. CREEK (3) powered home to win first up over less ground and has proven second up credentials. Placed in all types of conditions and should measure up here. KIRRAGIRL (10) looks much better placed back in class one grade with a key gear change. Hinted at improvement last start and well worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Evenflow each-way.
