GOING: S(7)

ENDED BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.55)  

Autumn Miss and Sock'emsid will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. The honest AUTUMN MISS (7) has hit the top-four in all six runs this preparation and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Drawn perfectly in gate three and drops back slightly in trip which should see her hitting the line with gusto. Rates the testing material. FITZROY STREET (14) has a win and a second from two runs this campaign and appears to have some upside. Top-three candidate. The very well-related DILIGENTE (20) (half to G1 winners Lady Shenandoah and Stronger) shed the maiden tag at the latest effort and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. In the mix. SINGER SARGENT (4) best of the rest in a race with a long tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Miss to salute.
