GOING: H(8)

MODERN TRANSPORT GROUP 1200m

Track: HEAVY     Out 6m  

Strong tempo assured with Shoes, Lhasa and Illicit Dreams rolling to the front. FORCE OF NATURE (6) was a narrow winner fresh up here. Multiple class riser in this. Unbeaten in three runs here and has won second up before. Looks the one for bettors. BARONET (5) he has run well in three of four starts this time in. Drawn to be a must include for all of your combinations. LHASA (1) is an on pacer. Has drawn out in both runs this time in but he has handled it well. Trifecta and first four chance. MALBOROUGH BAY (3) is a course winner. Impossible to overlook for all of your multiples to place or be first four. ILLICIT DREAMS (2) she weakened when fresh up. Her second up record is very sound. On pacer. Cannot be omitted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Force Of Nature is a win wager.
