GOING: G(4)

Racing Again Thurs 4th July BM70 Handicap 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.9).  

Solid tempo from Eyewitness, Lily Allez and Bold Hunter battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. SINGLE MEMO (11) goes well for Stanley who has a win and a placing from three steers and should be near her peak now fourth-up from a spell of over a year. No reason why she cannot find winning ways again. BARNEY RABBLE (10) has looked handy in all three runs since joining the new stable including placing over this course and distance last time out. Nicely placed to feature in the outcome. LILY ALLEZ (8) has won over this track and trip and gets 2kg off from the low draw. Right in this. BOLD HUNTER (3) is yet to miss a place in six runs around this circuit and has to be included in the exotics. VALLEY OF DREAMS (1) next best while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Single Memo to win.
