GOING: G(4)

WATSON MCNAMARA & WATT GUYRA CUP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Arrabbiata likely leads and Russley Crown is speedy and Arctic Legend can go forward too. RUSSLEY CROWN (1) didn't find his best second-up but has been freshened and on his best form he would take plenty of running down. Good chance to bounce back. RHYTHM IS A DANCER (2) is racing in consistent form and hard to think he wouldn't be in the finish somewhere. ARCTIC LEGEND (6) is fitter for one run back and has a good overall record so if he can improve with over a month between runs. LEICA MODEL (5) and VIS I DO (8) are worth including in the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Russley Crown to win. Save on Rhythm Is A Dancer.
