GOING: S(5)

HILAL @ GRANGEWILLIAM STUD 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Cracking tempo with Surround Sound and Wild Thyme leading the way. BUTTON YA LIP (6) the best run of her career came when fresh-up. Rider on here is very much in-form. CHARM ZAFARM (7) four-times placed so knows how to weigh in. Placed in both fresh-up runs. Quinella and trifecta chance. BRASSEY MISS (9) was found to be 3/5 lame in near front after last start. Ace gate. Must be a chance with the all clear after last start. WILD THYME (8) has been twice placed and both came on Slow footing. Wide draw. Rider atop has placed on the filly. DAZZ (4) is a three-year-old gelding (Microphone - Dazzling Lady) on debut. Four-times trialled for two wins and two placings. Dam has left two single race-winning foals. Chance here in this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Button Ya Lip and Brassey Miss are win wagers.
