TRC TRACTORS 1400m

Track: GOOD     Out 6m  

Strong pace from Metaverse, Bay Express and Finest Hour. METAVERSE (5) she is racing rather well. Has won on dry and wet footing as well. Drawn out but she can handle it. Top tier must here for certain. LANTERN WAY (2) was a good run at his last start. He has been proven third up. Drawn well so a must include for all of your combinations. IDEAL (1) has won fresh up before. She has been course placed as well. Include the mare everywhere in this particular field. BAY EXPRESS (6) is live on a hattrick in this. Class riser. On pacer. Hard to ignore in this. BENEFACTOR (3) has been twice trialled so very ready to resume in this. Drawn out. Wet tracker so far. Cannot be omitted anywhere in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Metaverse and Lantern Way are win wagers.
