GOING: G

Don't Bother Me @ Glenrae-Bm64 900m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: True.  

Plenty are fast and are capable of leading. Hot speed with Celtic Blast, Jaclyn, Golden Lustre, Exalted Maxine and First Reward all capable of leading and not sure who will win the battle but it will be intense. CELTIC BLAST is a last start winner here with ease in this same grade. More weight but decent draw and will be hard to run down again. VIVALDI'S QUEST is also a last start winner here and has the same weight as he tackles a tougher race. Drawn to camp just off them and will be closing late. JUST KAPPY is ready to break through in this easier grade. Will be burnt off early but charging late. JACLYN is suited here fresh from a low draw and will take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Celtic Blast.
