GOING: H(8)

KENNEDY BUILDING RIVERTON CUP 2147m

Track: HEAVY     True  

Solid tempo with The Tui Toiler, Complicate and Loftys Gift going hard, closely attended by Smooth Operator. ELEGANT LADY (5) she was galloped on at her last start when a super second. Win chance in this line up no doubt. Distance suits the mare. Can handle the wide gate. SMOOTH OPERATOR (3) has been racing well in five of his last six starts. He has won on dry and wet footing. Cannot be omitted here from any of your multiples. PRINCE ALBY (1) is a course winner. Has won on dry and wet ground. Not out of this at all for your combinations. MAYOR OF NORWOOD (4) he has been course placed. Not out of this at all for your trifecta and first fours. LOFTYS GIFT (2) is course proven. Wide draw in this field. Proven on dry and wet. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elegant Lady is a win wager.
