GOING: H(10)

GOLD CLUB RATING 75 1800m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace in this 1800m event does not look too bad at all for the vast majority of the contest. TAIMATE DIVA (2) runs in the same class as her last start win and gets a 3kg claim too so very well in. Has won on dry and wet ground. Course proven. Looks the winner again. DONNYBROOK (7) is a class riser here and drops 2.5kg. Very competitive in this field without a doubt. PROSERVE (4) is a triple track winner. Has won on dry and wet ground too. Trifecta and first four chance at least. MARGHERITA VELOCE (9) was very poor at her last start. Has won third up. Two runs here for a win and place. Dismiss the last start and include her everywhere. SASSY CHOUXS (12) is a gradual improver in this for sure. Has won third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taimate Diva is a win wager.
