GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots C1 Hcp 1430m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 4.47)  

First Line should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. FIRST LINE (5) is a leader who has threatened here her last two. She will skip across and just has to run out the longer sprint. SKIN IN THE GAME (1) was an easy Maiden winner this track/trip. Fitter again, and he will race forward. Keeps the top hoop, and the improver is feared. OBVIOUSLY GOOD (11) is an improver, and she jumps from the inside gate. Raced a short price favourite here last time and has trialled well since. ALISENT (4) switched from a Victorian yard and led and won a Maiden here first-up. Did a good job, and she has plenty in the tank. THIN RED LINE (3) didn't do much here last time, but she missed a whisker prior on the synthetic. The 2kg claimer will push forward from a wide gate and coming back to a sprint suits. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to First Line.
