|
Expecting a strong gallop with Incandescent Lady and Soaring Solo taking up the running over Aardvark. AARDVARK (1) dropped a level last start and went whack, scoring a strong victory when on the speed throughout at this track and trip. This shapes similarly and he in fact drops in grade for today's assignment. Carries the big weight but deserves to and can repeat the dose. LET'S SEA (7) has switched yards since finishing seventh five weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. INCANDESCENT LADY (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1200m at York after she was in the firing line on the turn. Should be peaking now and is among the leading chances. MARS MISSION (2) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1200m at this track. Going well without winning and is too good to ignore. HOT PUDDIN (6) is better than he showed last start and can return to this level with a bang. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Aardvark.
