GOING: S

Ladbrokes Form Genius BM64 Handicap 1423m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.23)  

Keen tempo with I Am War and Vianarra prominent. Competitive JUSTDOIT (3) found her best form beaten 1.8L at Sandown-Hillside in stronger than this. Peaks now and Ben Melham staying aboard is a decent push for her chances. Draws awkwardly but will be tough to beat with average luck. WALK OF FAME (8) just missed a place at Sandown-Lakeside a month ago, also in stronger. She also draws out, but has more up her sleeve and fitter is a chance. GRINZINGER EARL (4) is tracking well and maps for a soft run. He's proven third-up and will get every hope. BATTAGLIA (2) went close this track/trip, spiking his figures. He has a tough gate, but only has to hold that form to feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Justdoit.
