P.B. Lawrence Stakes 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 15) Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pace strong from Buffalo River and Aysar vying for the lead closely attended by Scallopini. MR BRIGHTSIDE (2) is the class of the field. He ran a great 4th in the All Star Mile before winning the G1 Doncaster Mile. He's proven over 1400m but may not be fully wound up for this. ELEPHANT (8) is a big watch. He was solid at his only run last time in with 60kg and is right up to these if fit enough. I AM SUPERMAN (7) can be hit and miss but is good enough. He typically races well here and has won a trial leading into this. SCALLOPINI (4) ran a bold race for second to King Of Sparta in the G3 Bletchingly. Races just as well at this trip and must be a chance. STREETS OF AVALON (3) might be the value if the track isn't too wet. He's a dual G1 winner at this track and trip and wasn't suited first up. Expect he's ridden aggressively from barrier 1 and will take running down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Elephant & Streets Of Avalon each-way.
