GOING: G(4)

AFGRI EQUIPMENT NORTHAM HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.30)  

Strong pace as Talk To Wyn pushes forward along with Where's My Lunch from an outside gate. Tricky. WORK HOME FRONT (4) led and won easily at York and then came here and missed a head. Has a 4kg claim today and will push forward and ride the speed. Tough to peg back. TALK TO WYN (2) resumes and led and won a Scarpside Maiden comfortably at his only fresh outing. He's back in grade and has trialled well. Gets in well with the 3kg claim, and he will use the low barrier. CHOUX SHOE (3) resumes and will be naturally improved. Has the ability, and she benefits from a 4kg claim. Has a wide gate, and that will require a good ride. MISTRESS OF WAR (9) has been freshened and is back in grade and trip. She missed a nose over a mile at Ascot two back, and the inside barrier is there to use. Keep onside. WHERE'S MY LUNCH (7) is going well enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Work Home Front.
