GOING: S(5)

ELECTRA CABLES - HAGER MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +4m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.25)  

Solid tempo likely with Triple Yes, Formal and Veravino prominent. FORMAL (2) looks well placed back in grade. Carries some handy form references into this and excels at this trip. FLYING EMBERS (4) went to the paddock in winning form and recent trials suggest she’s a stronger horse now. Must include. LOVE THE CUBE (1) has a solid record to date but carries the beaten favourite tag in three starts. Run well in a solid race. MOTOSCAFO (5) draws wide but finds an easier looking assignment. At this trip is a huge threat. VERAVINO (3) found the right race to win last start and did it with authority. Harder here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Formal win. Quinella 2-4/5/1.
