GOING: G

Hygain Winners Choice BM64 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.4).  

Genuine tempo from Macy Moon leading Epice Dieu. FIELDS OF COURAGE (5) beat the consistent Athanatos on debut at Sandown Hillside, running on well from midfield to score by a length. He's open to plenty of improvement and will take beating. FAYETTA (13) is a consistent type racing well. She's run third at her past couple since a win and should get her chance from the soft draw. DELIVERING (3) is racing well, finishing in the quinella at his past five. He won a 0-64 last time out and can measure up here. LAA DE SHA (1) has won 2/3 this time in and must have claims. HOKKAIDO (8) has ability and wasn't bad fresh for the new stable. Can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fields Of Courage to win.
