TABTOUCH - BETTER YOUR BET HANDICAP 1200m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Incandescent Lady and Soaring Solo up front, pressured by Aardvark and Mystery Minute. This looks a great clash to end the day. Between Mystery Minute and Aardvark, they have beaten at least a dozen of the runners earlier in the card so will be interesting to see how the form has stacked up. MYSTERY MINUTE (4) is building a top record at this circuit, just missing fresh then winning last time. Fitter again and looks a top chance. AARDVARK (1) returned to winning form last time in what was the first run for the new yard, racing on speed and proving too strong. Drawn well and despite jumping in weight will be tough to beat again. INCANDESCENT LADY (9) gave a sight last time and is expected to do the same. MARS MISSION (2) was not far from the winner last time and is worth keeping safe. LET'S SEA (8) looks a strong contender on his best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Mystery Minute.
