GOING: S(5)

SMITHFIELD RSL SAN DOMENICO STAKES 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.39)  

Expecting Raging Force to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. RAGING FORCE (7) one of the finds of the winter, undefeated in two runs this prep. Tagged the good tempo before launching late with a smart win over 1100m at this track on July 5. Since fitted with an 1080m trial and will prove hard to run down again at Group level. WODETON (5) exciting colt who finished a narrow second in the Golden Slipper on March 22, resuming. Looks ready to go with the two trials and J Mac has options from the draw. Will get the final look at them. DEVIL NIGHT (1) resumes after finishing a respectable fifth from the wide draw in the Golden Slipper. Won the Blue Diamond at start two in his first prep and closed well in his only trial over 905m. Value prospect. RIVELLINO (2) progressed quickly in his first prep, before racing without luck in the Golden Slipper and Sires Produce. Fitted with the two trials and will be desperate for as fast tempo. SUGGESTED PLAY: Raging Force can go to a new level today.
