ANCROFT DEVELOPMENTS MILE 1600m Track: SOFT 7 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Enright has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ACCIDENTAL TOURIST (1) will be peaking third up from a spell, and will also appreciate stepping up to a mile. Opie Bosson will negate the wide gate, and with some early luck, he is the one to beat. EL VIENTO (6) was a touch keyed up when resuming at Ellerslie, and that run is best ignored. He is unbeaten second up, so go again. ATMOSPHERIC (9) was a game fourth fresh up, and the wide draw could be a blessing in disguise by this time of the day. Each way claims. GILLIAN (11) strips fitter second up and with the aid of a 4kg claim second up, she will be a sound top 3 chance here. PEGASUS (10) won well enough last time out, and the track conditions won't be a problem for him. Go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Accidental Tourist each way.
