GOING: G(4)

WILD HORSE TURF RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: 5 metres Entire Course..  

Little early speed on offer so Battlespace should be prominent. SAVVY BEE (14) doesn't win of turn but has placed around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should be right there at the business end. BATTLESPACE (12) saves his best form for this mile journey with a win and a second from just three attempts. Will be cherry-ripe now and is sure to give a great sight. BLONDE ON BLONDE (8) strips fitter second-up from the spell and must be respected out of the Vandyke camp. Top-three contender on best form. PRIDE OF SAVABELLA (4) was a touch plain last time out but go on the solid win over this course and distance two back. Worth another chance. BOLSHEVIC ROAD (7) rounds out the selections in a wide open contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 14,12,8,4.
