GOING: G(4)

KIRSTY PATTEN 60 NOT OUT Class 4 Handicap 1800m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.46)  

Reasonable tempo with Ionaceltic probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. IONACELTIC (4) has hit a purple patch of form with three wins and two seconds from his past five outings and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Is one from one over this course and distance and should be right there at the business end. The well-related KERKORIAN (7) (full to G2 winner Plenty Of Ammo) has won two from four over this course and distance and gets in light with the claim. Top-three candidate on best figures. RING BEARER (6) strips fitter third-up and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble. Can take this out. BIKER (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be dismissed lightly. SAVANNAH GANGSTER (5) will be ready to peak now and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ionaceltic to bring up the hat-trick.
