GOING: S(6)

Avenel Equine Hospital BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace from Kiss Me If You Can and Too Big matching motors with Juice Box close at hand. SEA POEM (3) resumes and impressed both race starts heavily bet. She will be naturally improved and should get a positive sit. She finds easier and will be naturally improved. SHYLEAH (6) was narrowly beaten first-up and has jumped out since. She has more to give and is a decent chance. SWIFTIES (7) peaks and is well shy of her best. Draws awkwardly but gets Brown, and she should be ready to fire. HOAX (4) is second-up winner coming back to the turf. She has been racing in stronger and has pieces of form that would see her in the finish. TOO BIG (2) resumes and is a first-up winner with three jump-outs under the saddle. He also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sea Poem.
