GOING: S

TREVOR & CORALLIE EAGLE UNCLE REMUS STAKES 1400m

Track: SOFT     Out 5m  

Strong early tempo with Dealt With and Sethito leading the way. SETHITO (6) has been racing well in all of her runs so far. She is a course winner. Winning rider atop and well-drawn today. Top tier must today. CHECKMATE (1) he has never missed the top three so far. Wide draw in this. Threat no matter the footing on offer here. DEALT WITH (2) is a natural leader and he is in-form. Well drawn and can handle it dry and wet. Sure to give a real sight. HANKEE ALPHA (8) was a decent run at her last start in G3. Back runner. Has won on dry and wet ground. Definite threat. TARDELLI (4) has been racing well since coming to this yard. Drawn out. Trifecta and first four must in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sethito is a win wager.
