GOING: S(5)

RACECOURSE VILLAGE Colts, Geldings and Entires Class 3 Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +11m Entire.  

Slick pace with Ninjitzou finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. HELL TO PAY (1) has a handy record over this distance range with two wins and four placings from ten attempts and maps ideally for this from gate two. Gets some well-needed weight relief with the 2kg claim and should be right there at the business end. SUPERHERO (3) is a consistent commodity who has hit the top-five in ten of his past 11 starts and rarely puts in a poor one. A must for the multiples. TOPHET (4) grows a leg for hoop Mallyon who has two wins and a placing from just three steers and is racing high on confidence of late. Has to be included. SNITZOND (6) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should give backers a sight. LUMENS LENNY (5) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,3,4,6.
