GOING: S

Settlers Run BM64 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.86)  

Genuine pace with Not Enough Effort finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Wide open dash. MARTIAL MUSIC (1) ran a much improved race second-up in tougher company. Back a grade here and fitter again. Has the claim, the inside gate, early speed and should be in this for a long way. BRIER (3) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by half a length at this track and trip when first-up from a layoff last time out. Suitably placed for another big run. PLAYLIST (12) was off best before a break but did win only other try fresh. Starts again here and can run a bold race here at home. DAELLA (6) is a lightly raced mare with just six starts to her name but two wins and four minors. Won only try at the course and distance. Resuming from a break without public trials but from the low draw and having placed 2/2 fresh is not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Martial Music.
