GOING: S

Happy Retirement S Hancox Mdn 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 6m 1100m-W/Post. Out 3m Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Forms Of Fear going forward from the good gate. OVERTHROW (8) trialled like a rocket in his most recent hit out and draws the ideal debut draw over a zip, zip trip. Winning claims on debut against a genuine line up. EURYDICE (9) is slowly finding his way and resumes after a short summer campaign. Poorly drawn but recent trial was solid enough. MRS GLOOP (3) showed early smarts over similar trips last campaign and looked back near her best in a recent trial win. Best form would see her fight this out. NOBLE LEGEND (1) sheds the blinkers and drops back to what looks a more suitable trip. Can bounce back to better here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exacta 8 from 9 3 1

Can build on that encouraging effort last start.
