GOING: G(4)

WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: +13m Entire.  

King Adviso has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BOUSSAC (5) blew the start but rattled home to just miss first-up over this course and distance a fortnight ago, returning with a new peak figure. Fitter now and with improvement expected, he'll just need to jump and be a touch closer in the run. If he does that, he'll be very hard to run down. SO NATAYA (8) got the job done first-up before being slowly out and never really getting a chance over 1300m at Belmont last start. The form out of that race has been solid and while she's likely to get back in the run, she'll be finishing with a wet sail. BE BARDOT (3) resumes today on the back of a nice trial at Belmont in readiness for this. She was competitive in stronger company to end last campaign and Pike riding is a big tick for her. Can put her best foot forward. DIVINE INANNA (2) is knocking on the door of another win, just missing out last start when leading throughout. Will give a bold sight again. SEEYOUATTHESESSION (6) has to be included on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boussac can go one better this time.
