GOING: G(4)

QCF CHARITY RACEDAY 19 JULY Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 5.90)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Facundo leading the way. STARSONUS (4) has placed three from three over this six-furlong journey and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Good enough to play a major role in the finish. KING BOOM (5) boasts a win over this trip, draws favourably and gets some weight off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. MAKE A CALL (3) finally shed the maiden tag here when resuming and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. In the mix. BIT OF GRUNT (9) finally got the chocolates at the latest effort and Collis stays on top. Include with the 2kg claim. FACUNDO (6) strips fitter second-up from the break and will give backers a sight up on speed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Starsonus each-way.
