WSB RACING LEADERS MR 68 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Fast pace assured with Seattle Ripper, Choc' Late and Cold Truth leading the charge. WORDSWORTH (4) challenged strongly over 1200m last time but found one too good on the day. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this course and distance. He meets a similar line-up and can go one better. MUNCHKIN (2) is racing well including a close-up last start fifth of 15 over 1200m at this track. Fair record at this trip with a win and five placings. Looks ready to win. SMASHING (6) was a disappointing seventh of 16 over 1200m on this course last time. She won fresh-up four runs back over today's course and distance. On her previous form, she should give the males a decent run for their money. BONJOUR LA VILLE (8) showed good speed when winning her maiden over this course and distance. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She has plenty of scope and should give a good account of herself.
