GOING: H(8)

GODOLPHIN PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +5m 1100m-450m, True Remainder .  

Slick pace with More Voltage finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ALL TOO WILD (8) improving mare fitter after the two good runs. Sat on the speed but no match for Tonkatsu Goddess when second over 1200m at Gosford. Ready to peak and has a key jockey change today. COMMANDING BELLE (6) held in high regard by the stable and set to bounce back from the low draw. Covered ground and chased strongly when second over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Comes out of a strong contest and ready to bounce back. DENIAL (1) resumed for the Mitch Beer stable when getting off the mark with a fighting maiden win over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Holly Durnan keeps the ride and no surprise to see him make it two on the trot. ALFRED (3) came out quickly from the low draw when shooting clear in the straight for a commanding 3.5 len win over 1300m at Wyong. Looked good on that occasion and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: All Too Wild And Commanding Belle to fight it out.
