GOING: S(7)

XXXX OPEN Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Super Duck heading them off. Group 2 winner CHRYSAOR (1) had dropped off a bit in form but has showed glimpses at the past couple and has a bit of class over most of these. Drops back slightly in trip and should be hitting the line with gusto. BULLION BOY (9) returned in good order with a strong win here on his home circuit and maps well from gate five. Can go back-to-back to start the campaign. SAILOR'S SECRET (7) has put back-to-back wins together over this seven-furlong journey and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Top-three credentials. Former Godolphin galloper AMUR (6) has been thereabouts in both runs since joining the Gollan barn and will be ready to peak now third-up. Include in calculations. SUPER DUCK (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be forgotten. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chrysaor each-way.
