GOING: G

#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 74 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 29)    

Windsor Silk has enough early speed to find the lead at a decent clip. WINDSOR SILK (3) was fair on debut then got off the mark at final run of juvenile campaign with a determined win. Given a good break and sure to have come on. Has big upside and expected to measure up here fresh. HIS LORDSHIP (8) was fourth fresh then a little off best over six furlongs last time. Fitter again and is a speedy type with a claim here. Will give a sight. ONE TIGER (2) placed fresh in open class then raced below top last time. Fitter and this a little easier. Will give a sight. IN THE ETHER (7) was a winner two back but is another who raced below best last time. Has the ability and very attractively weighted in this with the claim.
