GOING: S(5)

MED Electrical Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1270m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expecting The Grey King to roll forward from the wide draw and set a moderate early tempo. MR WHITACRE (8) was much better last start despite causing no threat to the winner. Hasn't won for a long time but likes this distance and has been freshened. Bold showing anticipated. THE GREY KING (2) was denied narrowly from a resuming a winner at Balaklava. Sure to have come on with that run under the belt and is a big danger. OFCOURSE I WILL (4) returns. Is yet to strike fresh but rates highly on best efforts and is worth including from the low draw. FOREVER WAITING (5) drops back to a winning trip four weeks between runs. No shock to see him feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Mr Whitacre to break a long run of outs.
