GOING: H(8)

RADICAL MEDIA CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Pace should be on from the outset with Departing Bullet, Mr Metrics and Satness going hard, closely attended by Prince Aurelius. MAGICON (2) may lack a fitness edge but showed plenty of talent last campaign. Needs luck with a sticky draw but looks up to this level. BUBA (10) has had a short freshen-up and does have a solid record at this trip. Value hope. THIS IS THE MOMENT (8) arrives in winning form and stays in home surrounds. Drawn favourably and can maintain the momentum. SATNESS (5) raced handy from a wide draw last time and is capable of better in this type of grade. Four time winner at a mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magicon each-way.
