GOING: G

Emmetts Country Cup (Qualified Horses) (Heat 3 Hills & Coast Series) (Heat 9 Prov. Pathways Series) 1900m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

We've Gotta Deel should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. Open race. SPACE EQUITY (3) doesn't win out of turn but this 10YO is as honest as they come. Caught the eye again last start and will appreciate the anticipated tempo. Can land a much deserved success. I NEED A DRINK (2) hasn't done much wrong of late and now strikes an easier assignment. Goes up in the weights but is drawn favourably and is sure to give backers a bold sight. ZAIN PRINCE (6) was too bad to be true last start but his form prior stacks right up. Gets in low at the weights and rates among the main chances. Smaller cases can be made for in-form gelding LITTLE CHICAGO (5) as he shoots for the hat-trick and FRANKEL STAR (4). SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Space Equity.
