BCD GROUP MILE 1600m

Track: SOFT5     Out 9m  

The race pace here looks decent in this Open Class event over the Mile. ISLINGTON LASS (4) did a great job to score by a long neck over today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Unbeaten in two third up runs. Can cope up 3kg. Proven on dry and wet too. STONYBRECK (8) is live on a hattrick. Multiple class riser. Drops 4.5kg. Riding change is a big tick. SNAZZYTAVI (6) is a multiple class dropper here. Has won second up. Two runs here for two wins. DIONYSUS (3) was not too bad a run fresh up. Dual course winner. Proven on dry and wet ground. HE'S A DOOZY (2) is a dual winner second up. Has won on dry and wet ground. Placed in two of three course runs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Islington Lass and Snazzytavi are win wagers.
