GOING: S(6)

Tell Your Mates You Love Them BM64 Handicap 2418m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. ST VINCENTS GARDEN (5) is seasoned and has been racing in better class. He's switched to the Walker yard on a 27-day return, and this grade/trip hold no fears. Maps for a soft run and Williams' booking suggests he's pleasing. SUN GIFT (8) has been threatening at Sandown her last two over this distance and is also back in grade. Keeps Childs and she's likely to settle back and come hard. A winning chance. DSCHINGIS PRESTIGE (7) got closer at Swan Hill and is still well shy of his best metropolitan efforts. He'd take beating if he found that form. PRINCE OF BYRON (11) performed below market expectations in the Sun Gift race at Sandown (vet cleared). He missed a whisker this track/trip prior and that run stacks up. SUGGESTED PLAY: St Vincents Garden gets the nod.
