GOING: H(10)

GLUYAS MOTOR GROUP 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

Strong pace with De Russian Rocket, Eye Spy and Natural Momentum paving the way. EXPRESS COUP (4) has run well in five of her last six starts. The mare is drawn wide here but she can certainly cope. Has won on the course before too. CANDLE (12) resumes here for a new yard. She is a class dropper and a definite chance here. Include the mare everywhere. KA YING LUCKY (10) the gelding is live on a hat-trick. He is a class riser and cannot be omitted. DE RUSSIAN ROCKET (8) has run well here in his last seven starts. Wet tracker. Impossible to omit from your multiples. EYE SPY (9) the mare is up 2kg for the last start easy win. She has won on dry and wet ground. Cannot be omitted from anywhere in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Express Coup is an each-way wager. Candle is the sly one here fresh up for a new yard.
