|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. BYTHESEA (3) has a couple of nominations, and she is a big chance in either of them. She has the pole position here and will be hoping to settle a couple of pairs closer this time. Hard to beat if she lines up in this race. WOODLANDS (1) made progress last prep earlier in the year, and he has no trouble with wet ground. He is nicely placed after a 3kg claim, and he will be a lot stronger now. Each way with an eye on the market moves. COMIC DIVA (6) makes her debut from an in-form stable, and even though she is bred to want more ground, she can sprint well in a field like this. Follow any positive market leads. STUCK ON YOU (10) makes his debut from the strong Kelvin Tyler stable, and he is bred to revel in wet ground. He is nicely weighted after a 2kg claim, and he should be ready to rumble. FORSETI (4) was scratched midweek to be saved for this, and she has plenty of speed if her connections want her ridden that way. Include. MY GIRL ALICE (5) has found some solid form. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Woodlands each-way and keep an eye on the first starters.
