GOING: G

RENFREW HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. STELLAR SWIFT (8) flew home from the back to finish 1.5L off the winner last time out in a good performance as he returned to this track and trip. While he is 0/4 at the trip, he showed enough last start to suggest he runs out the journey and he can put his best foot forward from a good gate this time. AESTHETICISM (3) is another who finished off strongly from the back to finish 1.3L off the winner and the form out of that race has worked out nicely. He's likely to end up back in the run again, but he's ticking along nicely and he's sure to be there at the finish. A AMERIC TE SPECSO (2) hit the line alongside Stellar Swift last start as they made their runs together last start. The draw is a bit of a niggle, but he's racing in good order and he has to be included on his recent form. SKY TRUST (1) is racing well without winning and won't be far away.
