GOING: G(4)

VALE BILL HALL Class 4 Handicap 1350m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +2.5m Entire.  

Slick tempo with Tambourine Man to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. WEIGALL TIGER (1) was poised to pounce first-up in town but just found a smarter one. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt and now steps out to a winning trip. Has enough early dash to offset the ugly draw and is aided at the weights with the 2kg claimer engaged. Bold showing is anticipated. EXCEED SPEED (7) has missed by bare margins in his two runs back. Hitting his straps now and gets the blinkers applied first time to sharpen him up. Main danger. TWYFORD (8) gave backers a bold sight here last start over the same journey and fought hard to fend off all challengers. Is sure to be giving himself every chance again out in front over a track and trip he relishes. Don't overlook. TAMBOURINE MAN (10) hasn't been far away of late and deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Weigall Tiger. Saving on Exceed Speed.
