AGRAFORUM GROWING INNOVATION 1200m Track: HEAVY 8 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong early tempo with Spot On Time and La Bella Nera leading the way. LA BELLA NERA (1) has been super consistent for ages. Proven on dry and wet ground. Big chance in this field for certain. BELLUCCI (4) has run top three in six of seven runs this time in. Quinella and trifecta must here. SPOT ON TIME (2) was a trial second last month so is very forward to resume. Has never missed the top three on the track. Must include him on dry and wet ground. SOUTH OF HOUSTON (5) was an impressive winner at her last start. The 1kg more is not a real issue for the same class here. Poor draw in this but can cope. EPEE BEEL (3) is a class dropper here. Good course record and cannot be excluded. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Bella Nera and Spot On Time are win wagers.
