GOING: S(5)

STELLA ARTOIS 2200m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 8m  

Looking to Portrait, Richard Farrell and Lagobee as likely leaders in a solid speed battle. SIX FLAGS (6) she was placed on debut but not so good at last start. May need some cut in the ground at least to let down fully. Win chance on footing to suit in this. RICHARD FARRELL (3) he looked good over ground last campaign. Ready for the step up this time in. Each-way all day today. BEAU ONDAGO (1) has been five times placed so far. Can handle dry or wet ground and is not out of this at all. LAGOBEE (5) has improved with each run this time in. Drawn out in this. Not the worst without a doubt. KAIMAI WARRIOR (2) has improved with each run this time in. He has drawn out. In the mix for your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Six Flags and Richard Farrell are win wagers.
