BETWAY MR 90 HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 15) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo over this journey looks a certainty. SPLICETHEMAINBRACE (2) is unbeaten from five starts to date. She returns from a spell which would have done her the world of good. She is at her best over further distance but she is classy and should be too good for this field. FOREST SPY (3) has good consistent form lines to his credit. He is likely to race on the speed and merits healthy respect. GREAT MELODY (5) showed good speed when winning his last start over 1200m on this course. He has won three times and finished third once from eight starts over this course and distance. He does take on stronger rivals but is in a good space and should be up to the task at hand. SIBERIAN STEEL (4) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 2 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them.
