GOING: G(4)

Contract Engineering Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1700m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   +3m 800m-400m, +2m Remainder  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Jaywick may lead the way over Cuban Lord. CUBAN LORD (3) made very light work of his rivals' last start in C1 company. Not much tougher this time, if at all. Only needs to hold his form to be very competitive. MR TRAFFICANTI (2) doesn't win out of turn but has turned in some solid performances of late. Steps out slightly in trip on a short turnaround and is one of the key chances. JAYWICK (4) is yet to strike through this campaign but is knocking on the door. Has spent over a year out of the winner's circle but strikes a nice assignment the break the run of outs. MUFFLA (5) once again got too far back last start but did make some late inroads. Will drift back again from the draw and be saved for the final shot at them. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cuban Lord gets the nod.
