GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Speed should be right on over the 1000m journey. I AM PIKI (8) is a lightly raced filly with ability and turned in a nice run fresh beaten less than a length. Fitter and expected to go close again. GIVE FAITH (7) has placed at both runs this time in and bursting to win. Finished a head behind I Am Piki in the same race last time and looks the biggest threat again. THE CRUISER (6) is consistent and gave a sight here last time. Has the inside and should run well again. SEA MIST (5) has won first up in the past and finds the right sort of race. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Am Piki should go close.
