---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo with Twisted Mistress leading the way. BADGERS NUTS (1) loves it here around this circuit with three wins and two placings from just five attempts and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Should be ready for the step-up in trip now and can make his presence felt from the favourable draw. SARSEN (6) is a bit of a hit-or-miss type but has a win and two seconds from three outings here and draws the inside alley. Expected to feature prominently. WONFORWAZZA (5) goes well for Hellyer who has three wins and a placing from eight steers. Top-three credentials. SCHMOOZER (4) has placed two from two over this distance range and will find this easier than recent efforts in town. Can figure in the finish. TWISTED MISTRESS (10) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,6,5,4.
