GOING: S(5)

Winning Edge Presentations Class 4 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.51)  

Expecting a strong tempo with Creative Licence, Native Clan and Mandate going forward ahead of Myocardium and Naval Anthem. SKIN IN THE GAME (5) brings a string of heavily bet wins and spaced them here the latest. Finally draws a decent barrier and the top hoop sticks aboard. Carries less weight and he should have them well covered again. NAVAL ANTHEM (4) was quickly back on track narrowly beaten this grade. He has a wide gate to contend with but will be in the finish with average luck. CARNELIAN ROCK (6) keeps racing well. Has the inside gate and risks getting bottled up. He'll be around the mark if that's managed. Last start winner THE LONGEST YARD (10) the next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Skin In The Game.
