GOING: S(7)

WELLINGTON & REEVES COMMERCIAL HANDICAP 1900m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo from Missijay, Bit Tired Actually and Great Deal. BELLA VIOLETTA (8) has been racing in town and is much better placed in this contest. His numbers stack up, and Faithfull has been engaged. Finally, she draws a half-reasonable gate, and gets her chance. GINGERS SISTER (9) deserved his win here over 1600m at this level. Gives away starts, so the step-up to 1900m should suit. Might be able to sit closer today, and she's a decent chance to go back-to-back. KNOCKONEBACK (3) will find this easier than Ascot and comes back 300m for this. Rates better than the form line suggests and deserves to be kept on side. LORDGIVEMESTRENGTH (6) led them up and won a similar contest here this grade/trip and didn't have the best of it from a wide gate following. She may push forward today, and is a chance to bounce. SKY GOD (1) found the grade too rich last time over longer, but the form here both starts prior over this distance reads well enough. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Bella Violetta.
