GOING: G

bet365 ODDS DRIFT PROTECT C,G&E BM58 Handicap 1207m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25)  

Keen speed battle, with Star Of Mattner, The Wizard King and Hollerloud prominent. Big field but many making up the numbers. TERRAFLYING (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at Seymour over the same trip after he had settled well back. Comes back a notch and blinkers are added. Gets chance to bounce. EXUMA (1) sat on speed and fought on well to place last time in a BM64. Will give a sight this line-up. FUGACITY (5) continues to race well and drawn a low gate will give a sight again. THE WIZARD KING (6) is honest if nothing else, winning two back in easier before finishing fifth in a five way photo last time in this grade. Going well and will take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Terraflying.
