GOING: S(6)

The Man Walk Torquay BM58 Handicap 1412m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. ANGEL OF THE SEA (9) impressed from a wide gate when narrowly beaten at Pakenham. Matched her best and can go on with it now for a leading metro stable. Stablemate SUNSHINE JENNI (7) resumed 47 days ago with a Maiden win at Sale. She's jumped out well since and has plenty of scope for improvement. GLOVE ARTIST (5) has been within range his last two and he may find the extra required with the blinkers applied for the first time. Childs is a key jockey switch replacing the apprentice. SWIFT CIRCLE (4) switched yards and followed a first-up Maiden win with a tidy effort at Pakenham and he's on the improve. The 2kg claim assists but the barrier is awkward. SIGNOR BILL (6) is better than the form line suggests. He's back in grade and will be ridden more quietly today. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Angel Of The Sea.
