GOING: H(10)

CAPTAIN COMPOST LANDSCAPE SUPPLIES 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 10.5m  

Plenty of pressure on from the outset. KNIGHTS REALM (5) is in form and is a class dropper here. Course winner. Drawn wide but he is the one to beat still. LUX LIBERTAS (3) has won four-times at this track. Multiple class dropper in this field. Top tier must for sure. DUSTY ROAD (1) is twice a winner here already. Has run well in both of his races so far this time in. Trifecta and first four must. KARMAN LINE (2) she is course proven already. The mare is a multiple class dropper in this. Can pay a dividend here. WHISKEY 'N ROSES (9) missed at her last start. She was a G3 placegetter the time before. Good course record. Not out of this at all for your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knights Realm is the one to beat here.
