GOING: S(5)

GREAT NORTHERN Class 1 Handicap 1680m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 30)   Rail: +3m Entire . (Pent: 5.60)  

Plenty of early pace with Twisted Mistress leading them up, pressured by Warrant and Aces Up. MISS CHENERY (3) returned in fine fashion with a close-up second here and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Respect the Waller/Orman combination. WARRANT (1) is a bit of a hit-or-miss type but is more than capable on his day. Well placed here and looks a serious threat. ACES UP (2) has placed two from two over this journey and will be ready to peak third-up from the break. May earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Chenery to go one better.
