GOING: H

Hygain Winners Choice BM62 Handicap 1400m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Only a small field with Battaglia likely to find a comfortable lead. WRIGLEY FIELD (12) will be heavily bet and looks the hardest to beat. Progressive type who was a fresh-up winner then beaten just a length latest. Rates highly and expected to go close. MERE MORSEL (4) tackled slightly tougher grade last time and safely held. At peak now and drawn to camp just off the leaders. VORES (18) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a sixth over 1200m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Fitter again and worth noting sole win was on softer ground. Should be winding up late. BALLON D'OR (5) has been mixing form lately but rates highly on best figures. This much easier than last start and with the claim should run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow in on Wrigley Field.
