POSITIVE SIGNS + PRINT RATING 75 1200M 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 9m from 1400m to 900m, remainder out 6m  

Plenty of pressure primarily from Flash Roca, Eye Spy and Natural Momentum. BELLO MIO (5) is racing well this time in with two good placings from three starts. He has won on dry and wet. Looks the winner here drawn the ace. FLASH ROCA (9) is live on a hat-trick here and rises in class in this field. He has been course-placed before. Definite danger here as he has more wins in store. MEDINA (7) ran well at last start and is ready to show some form now. The mare has won third up and is course proven. Drawn well today so include her everywhere. NOBELLEM (3) can handle dry and wet footing. She has drawn wide once more and has run well in three of her last five outings. IN DISGUISE (8) ran okay when resuming and is a swimmer. Has been placed second up. Already twice a winner on the track. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bello Mio looks an obvious one but Medina is ready to pay a dividend.
