GOING: G

Mark Carlson 50 Ducks BM64 Handicap 2025m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Warchime is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. Tough race to finish with a host of win chances. FAGIN (1) has been thereabouts lately but in much tougher company. Comes back in grade for this and on best figures will go close this level. REBADGE (3) was only fair fresh then improved sharply second-up. Extra trip is a plus and fitter again. Looks cherry ripe. WINDS OF MARCH (7) has been fourth last two and not far away over more ground. Three weeks between runs and although back in trip has won two of three this journey. Must go in everything. MIDORI MOVER (6) has been runner-up at last two and is overdue for a win. First try at the trip but going well and among the main hopes. MIYAZAWA (9) has also been runner-up at last couple and both over similar trips. Attractively weighted with the claim and should be in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fagin well placed this class.
