GOING: S

Happy 21st B Charlesworth-Bm68 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 6m 1100m-W/Post. Out 3m Remainder.  

Strong early tempo with Rebel County and Victory At Omaha leading the way. WEEKEND AFFAIR (11) is racing bravely of late and finished hard in similar grade at this venue last time. Chance for an overdue win. INTUITION (3) has been competitive in two country grade runs since resuming and posted handy results in this type of grade last prep. Should be running into it late. REBEL COUNTY (1) lumped the grandstand for win number three last time out. Genuine horse who rates strongly up to provincial grade. VICTORY AT OMAHA (6) is racing well in easier contests but looks a genuine mile type. Back to home patch with a cosy draw and can run a bold race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Intuition each-way.
