GOING: G(4)

TURF CLUB VOLUNTEERS HANDICAP 1850m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo assured with Jack In The Black and Wiley Girl leading the way over Annihilator. BEAUTIFUL BAROQUE (2) wasn't far away in the Cup here 12 days ago when jumping favourite. Back to this trip is no issue and she maps for a beautiful run. Her form is superb for a race like this and while she carries a big weight, she looks the one to beat. WILEY GIRL (10) finished 1.6L off the winner over this course and distance in a CL2 here on Cup day and put up a good figure there. She drops plenty of weight today after the claim of Cooper and a repeat of her last start will see her right in the finish. BLAZING TYCOON (1) has just missed in his past couple of runs at Ascot when running on well from the back over 2200m. Back in trip today is a little niggle, though the 4kg claim comes in handy. Can feature. PURE CHINO (9) is building nicely this time in work and a peak performance looks near. Down in the weights and can threaten. HOOLAHOOPS (4) is nicely placed here and can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beautiful Baroque is the one to beat.
