CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS 1400m

Track: SOFT5     Out 9m  

There is good pace and pressure overall in this 1400m to close out the meeting. NEPHETI (13) produced a sound enough run fresh up run when punted. Has won second up before. Can overcome a wide gate for sure in this field. LUX LIBERTAS (2) she is going for five in a row this time in. Has won all three runs here. Drawn perfectly. Impossible to find fault with the mare. ABOUT TIME (8) is a multiple class dropper resuming. Has placed when fresh up. Twice trialled and won the latest of them earlier this month. Impossible to overlook. ASGARD (9) won very well here fresh up. Class riser. In form rider atop. Wide gate. Include him everywhere as more wins are in store. MY LIPS ARE SEALED (12) is a class riser. Wet tracker. Drops 2.5kg. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nepheti and Lux Libertas are win wagers.
