GOING: G

Vale John Ackroyd Class 1 Hcp 1350m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

Expecting Adavale to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. The minors behind Tikken look the ones to beat in this. KNIGHTS REIGN (5) was a winner three back then raced here last two and in the placings at both, the latest third behind Tikken. Rises just a half kilo after the claim and was less than a length from the winner. Placed 3/4 here and only try course and distance. Meets the runner-up better at the weights and can land a deserved win. RESPITE (7) was from the same race and was beaten only a neck. Races on speed and will go close again.GEEGEES ACE (1) is back in great shape and a bold showing is expected. GEEGEE AUNTY JESS (8) was well off best latest and can atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Knight's Reign.
