GOING: G

Lending 4 U BM60 Hcp 1880m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Always A Winner or Toganmain can roll them along. All the chances come through the same race behind Thin Red Line and at the weights he can beat them again. THIN RED LINE (5) led virtually throughout and scored here in this grade over 1650m. Best form is on the synthetic and aided by the claim. Looks hard to beat again. SKELMORLIE (3) was in the same race and finished seventh. Winning rider back aboard and hard to beat on her best form. SCARLETTI (2) kept coming also in the same race behind Thin Red Line. Extra trip suits and gets chance to turn the tables. Another from the same race was ALWAYS A WINNER (1) who finished fifth, beaten a couple of lengths. Still a maiden this circuit but rarely far away and worth including. ALPINE TROUT (4) has also had a lot of tries here without a win but better last time beaten just a length in the same race finishing runner-up and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Thin Red Line.
