GOING: H(8)

SIMPLY LIFE INSURANCE 1400m

Track: SOFT7     Out 4m  

The race pace here looks decent and from a range of barrier draws too. TIKAANI (1) has been close up in his last two runs and is surely due a winning turn. Ace gate again. Top tier must. BAGGIO (2) was punted fresh up and disappointed considering the very strong backing he had. Trial winner prior. Give another chance for sure. QUEEN ZOU (10) has gone two good runs this time in. She handles it dry and wet. Top tier must for your multiples. FASTER SOONER NOW (3) was much better at last start. Drawn out here but can go on with it now. Include everywhere. SHAKING STEVENS (4) is fresh up here but is ready to rumble. Trial winner last month. After a 3kg claim is a must include here on dry or wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Baggio is a win wager.
