GOING: H(10)

JAMES MCDONALD 65 1600M 1600m

Track: HVY10     True  

The race pace here looks okay in this Mile event but no records will be getting broken for sure. VAMOS (2) can win this no matter the footing on offer today. Has only gone poorly once since coming to this yard. Each-way all day. SACRED DIOR (5) handled this class well last start when just out of Maidens. Sure to give a sight here too. Quinella and trifecta chance. ZADANE (1) has been course placed before. Wet tracker as a rule. Trifecta and first four chance in this. EXPLOSIVE LASS (8) has drawn well and is among the chances here for your multiples. She handles it dry and wet too. Has run well in four of six starts is no real negative. BALZANO (4) place and first four chance here at best. He handles most types of footing importantly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vamos and Explosive Lass are win wagers.
