GOING: H(8)

The Abbotswood Motor Inn BM66 Handicap 2440m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

No noted leader on paper but Nothin' Wong Here and Autumn Diamonds have enough pace to take up the running from out wide. JAYKAYANN (2) won first-up for the first time this preparation, which suggested she has come back well and while she hasn't been a factor at the past two they have been in BM74 and BM78 grade, the latter at 2400m. With a run at the trip under her belt she could again get back to winning form. GENRICHERO (6) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 9 lengths away in fifth over 2100m at Sandown. Look for another barnstorming finish. OMAMORI (8) has been building all campaign and only just missed last time at Moe. That was over 2400m, which will have brought him on for this. CUSTOMER SERVICE (3) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third when he made late ground at the end of 2000m at Mornington. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FERAGO (1) is back from a couple of jumps runs and still more than capable on the flat in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jaykayann each-way.
