GOING: G

RACING TODAY FM 78 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Big field with a lot of pace engaged so expecting plenty of early pressure. FOR ALL WE KNOW (2) was an easy winner of her last start over this distance on the polytrack. She returns from a spell which would have done her the world of good. She has won twice, finished second once and third three times from nine starts on this course. If not in need of this outing, she should be the one to beat. TREASURE HUNT (3) ran fourth of 10 last time out at Fairview All Weather when resuming from a spell. Racing in a fitter state looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. UNYIELDING (4) stayed on when finishing fifth of 10 over this distance on the polytrack last time. Two of her three career victories have come over this course and distance. Each-way claims. AS FATE HAS IT (1) is a speedy filly who was a winner first up at this track. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Best form puts her right in this.
