GOING: S(6)

Emmetts BM52 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Off the low draw Feargal can take it up a race lacking a genuine leader. Looks to be a handful of genuine chances before it really drops away. FEARGAL (17) didn't run out the trip in his latest effort at Casterton, and has wisely been dropped back in trip. Can atone today. FINNHUGH (13) has been given a freshen-up for today's assignment and lands in a very winnable race. Not far off in his last two, and can play a significant role today. SPANISH SNITZEL (5) comes through the same race as Feargal and could win this without surprising. SUNRAY LASS (15) was ordinary last time, but ran very well from the front two back and similar tactics would give her each-way appeal today. JAYZEAL (4) is running consistently well and goes in with the main chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Get the feeling Feargal should be back close to her best today.
