GOING: S

Darren Galley Mile 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

They look to roll along early with Zourain and Royal Hill leading the charge. TAKEN (7) is a nice type on the up, well supported and winning well at Sandown Hillside last time out. Ticked the 1600m box there and can put himself on speed. Go close. DETROIT CITY (3) finished narrowly behind the former last start and has to be respected with the added aid of the claim. Just a slight niggle where he gets to from the draw. KING OF ENTERPRISE (5) comes out of the same race and while failing to fire a shot, he is clearly better than that and is worth another chance. ZOURAIN (6) got the bob here last time and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Taken.
