ECHOES OF HEAVEN & JON SNOW 2200m

Track: SOFT     True  

The race race pace here looks modest overall in this 2200m event. ARISTOCRAT (2) two of his three runs this time in have been very good. Looks the one to beat in this line-up especially after a 3kg claim. SMOOTH OPERATOR (1) won in this grade at his last start. Can handle the 2kg rise for the same grade here. Cannot be omitted from anywhere in this field. WAIHORA MIST (3) is better than she showed at last start. Course proven and is a trifecta and first four chance here for sure. EKSTREMEMISS (6) is a class riser in this. Trifecta and first four chance drawn okay. TAKE THE DEEL (7) was quite poor at his last start. Course proven. Rider atop has been placed in all runs on him and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aristocrat is a win wager.
