GOING: H(8)

SEVEN NEWS Class 2 Handicap 1680m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

No place for the faint-hearted with Whisky Train and Matsuyama getting along early. INTENTIONAL LASS (12) was a touch disappointing over this track and trip at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough to be competitive in a race like this. Gets Bayliss in the stirrups and can bounce right back to form against this lot. WHISKY TRAIN (18) wasn't disgraced in town last time out and will find this assignment much easier. Top-three candidate. SMART AS SMART (10) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. MAURICE'S MEDAD (2) has placed at Group 3 level and a better showing would not surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Intentional Lass to return to the winners' stall.
