GOING: S(5)

O'Briens Electrical BM56 Handicap 1450m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.43)  

Reasonable tempo with Finance Shogun probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. MISS TRUSTFUL (3) wasn't bad fresh when finishing midfield but does improve sharply second-up and looks well placed here. Expected to go close. FINANCE SHOGUN (1) went forward and kept running last time and gave nothing else a chance. Has the claim again and will no doubt be trying to take this from the front again. MOVE THE TORANA (7) has been freshened since racing in tougher over further last couple. This suits and worth another chance. QUEEN BEIRA (5) was well off best last time but rates highly on the start prior. Gets a chance to bounce back. KANSHERUN (8) ran well at first run off a very long break and will be much fitter for it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Miss Trustful.
