GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH HANDICAP 1618m

Track:   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Only a small field with Finance Legend likely to find a comfortable lead. MIFF MUFFERED MOOF (4) has been right around the mark lately without winning, just missing out in a stronger race here 36 days ago. She sat on the speed there and it took a good one to beat her. That form is strong for this race and Galati hops back in the saddle. Can return to winning ways. MOMBASA (1) bolted in here two back before dropping in trip and winding up late over 1400m last week. Rising back up to the mile is a big tick for his chances and the map is favourable for him. He appears the main danger. ALTERNO (3) has been around the mark his past few and looks to be knocking on the door of another victory. He was 30-1 last time out, but he put up some strong figures there and a repeat will see him go close. FINANCE LEGEND (5) is better than he's shown his past couple and he can improve getting back out to the mile now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miff Muffered Moof is the one to beat.
