GOING: G(4)

SA Thoroughbred Breeders Inc Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: 400m to WP True, +3m Remainder.  

Crown And Anchor should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. Tricky race to close proceedings. CROWN AND ANCHOR (1) is ticking along nicely without doing much winning and has enough early toe to offset the wide draw. Pannell sticking is a good push for his chances. PIWHANE (13) was a determined winner three back. Chased gamely to just miss the placings last start off a 56-day freshen and should relish getting back out to a mile. Draws well and is one of the main hopes. PRIVATE JET (3) doesn't do much winning but has proven capable enough on his day. Blinkers going on first time holds intrigue, expecting a bold showing. TYUSIX (12) is another that is ticking along nicely but will need a smart steer from the horror draw. Neindorf piloting helps. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Crown And Anchor.
