GOING: H(10)

LISA ALLPRESS 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Genuine tempo with Cosmetic Virtue leading the way. MATETSI (3) won well at last start in this grade over 2100m. Drops back to a Mile here but he can cope. He is still the one to beat. DIVINE SPIRIT (4) is a swimmer and in form of late. Big chance here after a 4kg claim. ZADANE (1) showed some form at last start. Wide gate but he can cope. Place and first four hope for bettors. DAVID MOSS (2) has been consistent in the last four runs. Was a very distant third at last start. Cannot be omitted anywhere in this. IFFIN DOUBT DANCE (7) was a form reversal winner at last start. Wide draw but in the same grade here tellingly. Cannot be overlooked in this field from any of your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Matetsi can win again even dropping back to a Mile here.
