GOING: G

C+M BUILD GROUP BM58 Handicap 1457m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Expecting Play On Words to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. Very open. WATS NORMAL (4) has upside and may well be worth following up. Narrowly beaten fresh then got off the mark last time with the maiden win. Peaks now and in form. Looks sure to run well again. FIRE TRIBE (6) returned from a break in a BM64 and finished fifth. Was beaten a couple of lengths and comes back a notch here. Fitter and expected to feature. MISTY EMOTIONS (9) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1400m at Sale after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. ANCHOR DOWN (5) ran eighth last time in a tougher race. Strong maiden winner the start prior and gets chance to bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wats Normal has upside and is worth following.
