GOING: S(5)

NORTH TULLAMORE PASTORAL COMPANY Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.99)  

Southaven, Skilful Artist and Jay Bee Ell can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. Former Victorian SKILFUL ARTIST (5) had been right there in both starts since joining the new stable before getting a confidence-building victory over this track and trip last time out. Winning rider McIver sticks in the stirrups and should be going very close again. JAY BEE ELL (6) saves his best form for his home circuit here with two wins and three placings from nine spins. Can feature prominently if he brings his A-game. GENERAL WOLFFE (1) grows a leg for hoop Fenlon who is yet to miss a drum in seven steers. Genuine top-three prospects. PEAKING TOM (4) doesn't win out of turn but is usually about the money and can earn another cheque. SOUTHAVEN (2) next in line with Wiggins on board from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Skilful Artist.
