GOING: S(5)

CVC LAW & CONVEYANCING CG&E MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Above The Law and Switz possess good early speed. WEST OF SWINDON (14) also accepts at Wyong Sunday but has group race form to kick on with resuming. Recent trials are ok watching and only has to sneak past a wide draw to feature. DISPARATE (7) is now six weeks between runs but did give a nice feel on debut from a wide draw. Dealt rough again with a poor alley but should be very competitive. CALIFORNIA COMMAND (2) edges back to near his best in latest run and should appreciate an improving track. Box seat draw should see him play deep into proceedings now. ABOVE THE LAW (5) was scratched at the gates last Sunday but carries strong form lines across from his classy debut effort. In the pace-making role can easily carry this off. SANCTIFIED (12) looked every chance first up but does get some weight relief. Overall form more than good enough. SUGGESTED PLAY: West Of Swindon win. Box quinella 2,5,7,14.
