GOING: S

Moe Cup Sunday 16th November 0 - 58 Handicap 1217m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.59)  

Genuine tempo from The Wizard King leading Confine. THE WIZARD KING (1) was forced to press forward from the outside draw last time and left a sitting shot, run down right on the line. Drawn much better here and with plenty of pace in the race might actually opt for cover. Going well and should feature again. GATOR (3) is hard to fault with two wins form as many start this campaign. Drops a kilo with the winning claimer back aboard and will take running down. CONFINE (5) led throughout fresh to score the maiden and strips trimmer. Lightly raced mare drawn to be prominent again. MONT SAINT MICHEL (4) drifted back fresh but wound up nicely to place. Fitter and will enjoy the good early speed here over the extra trip. REBILLYOUS (8) is better than latest and drawn for a soft run off a good tempo. Can get home hard with even luck in the straight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on The Wizard King.
