GOING: S(5)

Life Member Mrs Elizabeth Geard Maiden 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m Entire . (Pent: 4.60)  

Expecting Outbush to take up the running with Miss Delphi and Cardiosphere close at hand. SEDNA (14) is a former Victorian who was only beaten 2L here, having his first outing for the new yard off a brief freshen. Keeps the 2kg claim and draws to advantage. She's still well shy of her best, and presenting fitter is a winning chance. LIGHT FORCE (5) placed first-up in the same race and also has more up his sleeve. He positions forward, and under Pires will go close. GEEGEES DOWNPOUR (3) spiked his figures when narrowly beaten in that contest. It was a big effort after settling rearward, and Darmanin sticking a board is a push for his chances. MISS DELPHI (12) also improved last time and gets in light with the 3kg claim. She should be around the mark. FUEL ON THE FIRE (2) debuts owning a trial win. Elevate if there's serious money for him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Sedna.
