GOING: G

Morris Pastoral Rating 0-56 Handicap 1867m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Slick tempo with Street Culture to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Moderate race but looks the right recipe for MENACE TO SOBRIETY (6). He's on the quick back-up after a solid run in a stronger race at Balaklava on Wednesday. His prior form is consistent without winning. He can take a forward position and, if he handles the track, he will take some beating. STAR DECORUM (9) hasn't won for some time but her last two starts have suggested that she's back to somewhere near her best. She looks a main danger if she can continue to improve up in trip. Including STREET CULTURE (10) and HAVADUEL (7) in wider plays. Both need to improve sharply on recent efforts but there is no great depth here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back MENACE TO SOBRIETY (6) to win.
