SUMMER CUP 29 NOVEMBER MR 70 HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 21) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace established by Molotov Cocktail, Futurewolff and Copper Mist, with Volte Face close at hand. MOLOTOV COCKTAIL (1) set the pace over 1600m last time and fought hard to hold all challengers at bay. He should have no issues with the rise to 1800m. He takes on stronger rivals but has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand. CHABAL (2) tried hard when second over 2000m on this course last time. He should be ideally suited to this distance and is one of the leading chances. GAMER (8) took the lead at the 150m mark last time before getting outrun late. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and he should be right there at the finish. FUTUREWOLFF (3) went a solid race last start to finish third of 14 over 2000m at this track. Well placed here to return to winning form.
