GOING: S(7)

bet365 Swan Hill Cup 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 9)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good early pressure with Not Usual Glorious or Dashing likely to take up the running. Open edition of the Swan Hill Cup. HOLYMANZ (2) has been well beaten his past couple but would take plenty of beating at his best. Look for him to improve sharply. NOT USUAL GLORIOUS (9) relished the wet ground at Warrnambool first up to score over 1400m at big odds. If the track has give in it again he'll give a sight. DASHING (4) can bounce back off a poor one last time, having won well fresh prior to something going amiss at Sandown. Clearly capable and has to be included. SEONEE (7) continues to close off well late and may always have been set for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Holymanz each-way.
