PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 FM 98 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 28)    

Genuine tempo with the speedy Doitwithdiamonds leading the way. DOITWITHDIAMONDS (1) just missed at third run back and at top now. Senior rider goes aboard and she has placed 3/4 here and 3/5 at the trip. Top chance. COCOMELON (3) has been racing in tougher grade lately. Grade 2 placed over further but has the ability for this line-up. BAKWENA (2) is in great form including a win only try here two back over 1500m. Hard to hold out. WARM RECEPTION (8) resumed in stakes class and not disgraced. Fitter and extra trip may suit. Worth consideration.
