Hygain Winners Choice BM56 Handicap 1200m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid pace with Dreamwriter finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LEXTON (1) made a mightily impressive resumption, where he won dynamically. That figure holds him in great stead in a race like this, and he can play a major role in the finish. ZOUSINGER (2) rates highly and can bounce back from last start, where she did loads of work to find a prominent position. Her form prior to that run reads well, and if she can return to that level, she'll make her presence felt. FLUX (3) turned in a good effort to win by a nose last start at this track, and can play a major role in this race. HAATHER (13) returned well from a spell last start and is a blowout chance at his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lexton.
