GOING: H(10)

BETCHA BET BACK TOOL MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Pace genuine with Holdem and Bax Factor pressing hard closely followed by Bonnieweka and Rakhmet. POGACAR (2) has gone all good runs so far. He can certainly win this dropping back to 1200m and especially so with the field hammered by many scratchings. CELTIC BLING (12) she ran rather well fresh up. Big improver in this. The filly can pay a first dividend today without a doubt. INTERLAGOS (4) has not run a bad race lifetime. Include him everywhere in this for all of your combinations. RESPECTABELLE (9) has been not far away of late. First race on the Synthetic. Place and first four chance in this after so many scratchings. HOLDEM (10) he is an on pacer but this field still has some speed in it despire all the withdrawals. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pogacar and Celtic Bling are win wagers.
