GOING: G(4)

Q Mechanical Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1350m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +2.5m 1000m-700m, +3m 700m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. LAPILLI (6) improved sharply second-up when sent forward from the wide draw and knuckled down to score here. Drawn much kinder this time and can keep the momentum rolling. ORIEDOS (7) was closing hard on Lapilli last time and gets a nice pull at the weights. Will likely drift back again but expect him to be charging late. DIADOCHOS (1) was dominant last start in similar grade. Goes up a kilo but draws well again and only needs to hold his form to be very competitive. SETTEVELI (2) hasn’t saluted for some time but is edging closer, with two strong recent efforts here. Draws to get the gun run for Milnes and deserves his chance. SASSY ANGEL (11) closed sharply behind Diadochos last time and is worth keeping in mind with the weight swing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lapilli to win again.
