GOING: H

Heatstore Hcp 1800m

Track: HEAVY10   Clouds (Max: 10)   Rail: True | Morning Frost.  

The race pace here looks to be Summer Festival as per usual but Wannnabe 'N' Paris and Miss Tavi could have something to say about that VERRY FLASH (1) was a huge third at G3 here last Saturday and came from a mile back. Placed in both 1800m runs. Big chance here after a 3kg claim. SUMMER FESTIVAL (2) led up as usual last weekend here and ran second at G3. Sure to give a sight as usual. WANNABE 'N' PARIS (3) is slow to show any form this time in but hinted last start it was coming. Chance at 55.5kg after a claim. MISS TAVI (4) last start was a disappointing fifth here midweek. Inside gate but meeting more depth here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Verry Flash is a win wager.
