GOING: N

IRT TROT 1720m

Track: GOOD      

GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (4) did a great job in leading for a 6m win when resuming off a lengthy spell then performed well behind an in-form rival last week, beaten 3.6m into second. Draws closer to the pegs and is suited back to a distance where he is two from two. REMUS PHOENIX (5) has come from wider barriers than this to place in both starts since recording a win at this circuit. Expect him to make an impact again. OUR MARVELLA (3) could be close to a win after back-to-back placings. Owns a handy record at this circuit and distance and draws well. JAZSPUR (8) was beaten less than 4m from a wider barrier on this line last start. Draws for a nice trail tonight.
