RACING240 FOR RACING. FOR YOU MR 80 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Plenty of pressure on from the outset. IGUGULETHU (5) was an impressive winner of his last start over this course and distance. He meets a similar line-up, is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. PEDRO (7) went a solid race last start to finish second of 10 over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong winning prospects. FINAL TRY (6) finished out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has been in the money at each second-up start. Fitter and has each-way claims. RUN THE WORLD (10) missed the placings two starts back when resuming from a spell then ran a better race when finishing fifth last time out over 1400m at Kenilworth. Perfectly placed to return to form.
