GOING: S(6)

Kevin Sharkie Maiden/Class 1 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 4.47)  

Not seeing a great deal of early speed. %1% Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. LYCO RECO (6) resumed and won his only stat this course/trip. He will race over further, but she's trialled well and Darmanin's booking suggests she's pleasing. She's won fresh and on song, will be tough to roll. RAGING WATERS (7) comes back in distance but peaks for this, and he's still shy of his peaks. Likely to race well. STHONATUS (3) has had two runs this preparation and has trialled well since last seen. He has plenty in the tank, and stepping up to a mile suits. SURPRISE SECRET (11) is still a Maiden but just missed at this distance last time and can build on that. SHAMUS EAGLE (2) comes back to the mile off an improved effort. Maps well and shouldn't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lyco Reco if the betting indicates stable confidence.
