Track: Good 4     Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.10)  

Genuine tempo with Infinite Jest and True Prophet leading the way. Pretty moderate race where POWER CABLE (1) is worth another chance. Fresh-up winner then bombed the start last time and never got into the race. This is easier and worth another try. NEW YORK SCANDAL (8) is overdue for a win with placings at three of last four. Expected to go close this line-up with any luck from the wide draw. INFINITE JEST (4) was a fresh-up winner then started at huge odds in a Cl3 and was well off best. Fitter again and can do much better. TERRAFLYING (3) is yet to fire in three runs this time in but the senior goes aboard now. Has the ability and although yet to prove himself this journey looks hard to beat this level. LAUGH WITH ME (10) is another coming off a poor run latest but has the ability and can find some form third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Give Power Cable another try.
